Alabaster Dawn Planned to Have 30-60 Hours of Playtime, Demo Launching in Early 2025

Radical Fish Games has made an exciting announcement regarding their upcoming action RPG, Alabaster Dawn, which is set to enter early access in 2025. In the recent Steam listing, the developer shared that players can expect a gameplay duration ranging from 30 to 60 hours, mirroring the experience offered in their previous title, Crosscode.

The game will feature seven distinct regions and introduce new mechanics, including the ability to reconstruct settlements and establish trade routes. This dynamic will allow settlements to grow and evolve, ultimately leading to the opening of "new paths and opportunities." Players can also look forward to uncovering numerous secrets along their journey.

In anticipation of the release, a public demo will debut in early 2025. The studio mentioned that a vertical slice of the game has been under development throughout the year, showcasing a variety of scripted cutscenes, two challenging bosses, and an intriguing dungeon. The initial one to two hours is reported to be "almost fully playable," with the pace of development expected to accelerate as more systems are integrated. The forthcoming demonstration will showcase this specific segment, allowing players to sample what lies ahead.

The decision for early access aims to gather ongoing feedback from a broader audience, ultimately enhancing the gaming experience while also ensuring financial backing. Although CrossCode had a similar early access phase prior to its release, Radical Fish Games hopes that the timeline for Alabaster Dawn will be shorter.

Representatives and attendees of Gamescom will have an opportunity to explore the latest Alabaster Dawn build at the developer's booth.
