Stormforge makes the titular natural forces the star of the game on Steam. With up to 8 players, you can face them and let your creativity flow with constructions that should withstand wind and weather.
What kind of game is this? Stormforge is an upcoming open-world survival crafting game that you can play with up to 8 players. In a fantasy setting, you can explore the procedurally generated world called Sorana, build bases, and fight dark foes.
Visually, it resembles genre colleagues with its cel-shading look, like Tribes of Midgard or popular Nintendo titles like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, while the gameplay shown so far is reminiscent of genre representatives like Enshrouded or Valheim.
The survival game is slated to enter early access in 2026 and has been playable as a demo on Steam since August 18.
At the core of the gameplay are magical storms that should represent both a curse and a blessing for you, and the community is expected to play a role from the very beginning.

Harness the power of the storms and prepare for the natural forces
What features make Stormforge special? The magical storms are expected to form an important focal point in Stormforge, as the name suggests, and significantly affect gameplay:
- You can only stay in them for a limited time before you become corrupted
- There are important resources, powers, and even dungeons and bosses within the storms
- Some enemies gain strength from the power of the storms
- You can also use the storm’s powers to find and destroy harmful sources
Additionally, base building is expected to play a significant role in the genre. Because they need to be not only functional (and of course nice) but also withstand potential natural forces.
There will also be various classes such as warriors, mages, rangers, collectors, or villagers, which you can combine freely. Over 100 passive abilities and more than 20 active skills are at your disposal. Some of them should be particularly useful in co-op and can combine with the abilities of others.
Modding is also expected to play a significant role right from launch. Community content like new equipment or game rules should be integrated directly into the game without external downloads.
How long it will be until early access is still unclear. Until then, you can already explore the demo and thoroughly test the gameplay. Meanwhile, another multiplayer game is starting its early access, but not quite as well as hoped: The next new MMORPG experiences a troubled launch because it goes into early access on Steam too soon and unfinished
