The date has been set - mark your calendars! 20 March is the date for the Crystalfall Early Access launch! Not long to go now! The Early Access will be online only and features five acts, three playable classes, and early stages of endgame, in-game trading and leaderboards . The game will be localized to all languages stated in the Language section on our Steam page. Read more in the Early Access FAQ on our Steam page. When EA launches, we will close down the Demo. Steam Next Fest was absolutely incredible as we welcomed over 58,000 players, making us one of the Top 50 demos of Next Fest! But we know the journey is just starting, Early Access is going to truly shape our game and we're super excited! We've gotten a lot of really valuable feedback from the Demo during Steam Next Fest and want to thank our players for taking the time to share their thoughts on the game. This is why we are launching Crystalfall into Early Access, to include you in this journey and continue improving the game over time. While we have gathered feedback from the Demo, we want to be transparent about the fact that we will continue to prioritize game mechanics as we go into Early Access. We are aiming to address some of the issues that arose during SNF for EA, but some fixes require more resources than we can allocate presently, and will be scheduled for the next hotfix or patch. For our first patch, we are planning to add some additional progression and endgame mechanics. More information on that will follow later. Some players are concerned about the current lack of WASD and controller support. We want to say that we hear you and understand your position. These requests mean that Crystalfall has a broader market appeal than we expected, and while we wish we could accommodate WASD and controller support, we are a small team who have to make tough decisions on where to prioritize our resources. We don’t think it would be fair to our players to add controller support or WASD to EA without proper testing, and for that reason we currently have to prioritize a stable build where we can focus on polishing and balancing gameplay mechanics. If controller support and WASD become possible down the road, we'll make an announcement. Don't miss out on our Reward campaign!

Steam Next Fest has now begun! For those who haven't yet tried out the Crystalfall Demo, now is your chance! We are thrilled about this milestone, having now reached 75 000 wishlists and a “very positive” Steam rating with 140 reviews. That is amazing and we are so thankful to have such a supportive community. The Demo features the first act of the campaign where all three classes can be selected. A typical run is approximately an hour long, though some players have gotten 10+ hours of playtime in the Demo! Disclaimer: The demo version of Crystalfall features the first act of the campaign and has no multiplayer, co-op, endgame, leaderboards or in-game trading. Please be aware that you may experience some bugs and hiccups in the demo and that the translations are still work in progress. Character progress in the demo will not carry over to Early Access. If you run into any issues with bugs or translations, please report them on Discord so we can fix them as soon as we can. Link to our Discord server: https://discord.gg/ntPmauYuKV A big thank you to the community for supporting us and trying out the Demo. Your feedback is incredibly valuable to our team. FAQ Does the game have controller support? No, currently there is no plan to add controller support, the reason being that we are a small team of 20 people and adding controller support would require resources that we currently do not have. We'll make an announcement if controller support becomes possible down the road. Does Crystalfall have WASD? Not only is WASD movement a big implementation that would force us to deprioritize adding progression mechanics (and we would rather focus on those), but it would shift the focus away from the item grinder ARPG to the more souls-like combat where timing your dodges matters more than your items. If WASD becomes a possibility in the future, we'll make an announcement. What graphics settings are available currently? Currently the graphics settings are limited to changing resolution, capping FPS, enabling Vsync and anti-aliasing. For best performance, we recommend enabling Vsync and capping your FPS. Can I increase font size of texts? Currently there is no dynamic scaling for UI and fonts. A solution at this stage is to lower your resolution to make the font appear bigger. How much playtime does the Demo offer? The Demo features the first act of the campaign where all three classes can be selected. A typical run is approximately an hour long, though some players have gotten 10+ hours of playtime in the Demo. Don't miss out on our reward campaign! We are offering exclusive Early Access LAVA theme cosmetics to everyone who pre-registers their email. With 75K wishlists and registrations, both the footprint effect and weapon effect are now unlocked. Spread the news and invite your friends to get closer to that next milestone: the LAVA portal! To participate, wishlist Crystalfall and pre-register your email ahead of Early Access launch at https://crystalfall.playpark.com/ What is Crystalfall? Built for players who love experimentation and long-term progression, Crystalfall features a big talent tree, loot-driven progression, and procedural skill systems. Skills themselves are lootable and come with their own procedural skill trees , which can be further customized through rarity upgrades and socketable items known as Skill Crests. Items feature alpha and omega affixes that modify base properties, adding an additional layer of complexity to the game’s itemization. Shortly after Steam Next Fest, Crystalfall will enter Early Access as a free-to-play title on Steam, planned for March 2026 . The Early Access will be online and feature five acts, three playable classes, and early stages of endgame, in-game trading and leaderboard . The game will be localized to all languages stated in the Language section of our Steam page. We want to take the opportunity to thank all our amazing players for the incredible support you've shown our team. For those who haven't tried Crystalfall yet, we hope the demo in Steam Next Fest will scratch your itch until it is time for the Early Access launch. Stay awesome & may the loot be with you! All the best, Crystalfall team
