Dear Travelers of the Otherworld!
Today Drova turned one. And to celebrate the birthday accordingly, we've got some major news for you!
Yes, Drova as a project came to an end and we are working on something new. And yet, many of you requested a couple of things. Especially additional languages have been requested quite often. But also quite a lot of people were hoping for a physical release. And we've got some news regarding both topics! And more...
In the following video Chris talks about all the news! The video is in German language but English subtitles and a generated English dub are available!
Physical Edition
We've teamed up with Limited Run to give you a unique opportunity to get Drova on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5 as a physical Release. Take your chance to add Drova to your shelves, now. Or, uhm, soon, Pre-Orders start in two days, on the 17th October and will end a month later on 16th November.
Mobile version
Part of our studio culture has always been to let as many players experience our games as possible. And that also means being able to play Drova no matter the device of their choice. And we also love technical challenges to be honest.
That's why we started an experiment. Would it be possible to port Drova for mobile devices?
Well. The answer is yes. We were even surprised by how good it worked out and we now want to invite you to participate in a Closed Beta. That way you can give it a try yourself!
The Closed Beta will run from 7th November till 23rd November.
You can sign up today till 22nd October.
Join our Discord to register. In the category "Mobile Closed Beta" there is a Channel named "register". If you type /register in there and add a small text, you get a chance to participate. Our Closed Beta Bot will then contact you and ask you for your mobile device to make sure we have a broader range of devices to test on. Sadly we have to limit the number of participants to make sure we don't get the same bug reports too often. We were thinking about 20 people but that may change. If you've been picked you'll learn once the registration ends.
The data collected for the registration and organization of the closed beta will be used by us exclusively for the purpose of the closed beta. After the closed beta has ended, we will promptly delete the data as soon as we no longer need it to improve the game.
Please only register for the Closed Beta if you have quite some time available during the test phase. The estimated playtime for the game is around 40 hours.
The exact release of the mobile version of Drova depends a bit on the feedback we get during the Closed Beta. We are positive however to get the game out in the first Quarter of 2026.
Languages
We heard your feedback and there will be more languages coming to Drova!
With more than 250k words it is quite expensive for us as small indie team to offer additional languages. A more detailed statement from our Publisher, to give you an overview about what an additional language means, can be found here in the forums on Steam.
Still we've decided together with Deck13 to offer two additional translations. Work has already begun quite some time ago and once again Warlocs will be doing the translations. This time for Spanish and Polish. For some Asian languages we've teamed up with regional publishers we trust.
The following languages will soon be available for Drova:
Korean: November (In cooperation with Smilegate/Stove)
Simplified Chinese: November (Partner will be announced soon)
Traditional Chinese: Q1 2026
Spanish: Q1 2026
Polish: Q1 2026
We're super excited to allow more players understand the world of Drova. And we are really looking forward to your feedback. Keep in mind that translations are a dynamic process and dates may change a bit here and there depending on the progress the translators make.
Christmas Event
Once again we want to celebrate Christmas with our community. Come to our Discord and participate in our Christmas Riddles. Every week another riddle will be published. All of them related to the world of Drova. And every Sunday we'll raffle a winner among all those who answered correctly.
Winners will get one of four exciting prices which have been created for this event only!
