UPDATE: Timberborn 1.0 launches on March 12, 2026 - a week later than originally announced. Read more here.
Hello, everyone!
You knew Timberborn 1.0 was coming… but you didn’t know when. Today, we can finally reveal the date, and we’d like to do that in a pretty cinematic way - with the official Timberborn lore trailer narrated by none other than Shaun Dooley. Starting with 1.0, the video will also be the game's intro. Enjoy!
That’s right, Timberborn 1.0 goes live on…
March 5 12, 2026!
Wrapping up the Early Access journey - after over 4 years! - is huge for us. With seven major updates done, Timberborn has evolved a lot. If you’re a returning player, here’s just a glimpse at what changed during that time.
The nature-loving Folktails and the industrious Iron Teeth are now vastly different beaver factions, with separate food production chains, unique buildings, and technology.
We implemented 3D water physics, 3D terrain, and expanded Timberborn’s hallmark vertical architecture and terraforming.
We added badwater and a new dangerous season, badtides.
We added bots and broadened the building roster across the board, from workshops to decorations.
Faction-specific wonders now complement the game’s sandbox loop as end-game goals.
We now have mass transportation systems in place: speedy Ziplines for Folktails and cutting-edge Tubeway tech for the Iron Teeth.
The game now features 16 built-in maps, and the map editor is better than ever, with our super-active, super-friendly community adding more maps each day.
Speaking of which, the game now has official mod and Steam Workshop support.
There are also huge performance gains, UI improvements, and much, much more!
The list above doesn’t even mention what the actual 1.0 update brings to the table - but that, fortunately, is just a month away. (If you don’t want to wait, you can always jump onto the experimental branch and try the new stuff early.)
Whether you’re a new or returning player, we can’t wait for you to join us on March 12, 2026!
