After several months of availability on PC, and then in a "more or less beta" phase on Xbox Series, Towerborne finally makes its official debut on PC and consoles with the release of its "version 1" on February 26, 2026. Developed by Stoic and published by Xbox Game Studios, this action-RPG is designed to be accessible for both solo players and four-player co-op modes, whether locally or online.
"The Belfry embodies a glimmer of hope and security amidst the ruins of humanity, while monsters prowl just outside the tower walls. You play the role of a champion, returned from the spirit world and endowed with exceptional abilities, courage and determination. With other champions, embark on a thrilling adventure in a new world and protect the inhabitants of the Belfry. Can you save humanity and ensure its survival? Join us in Towerborne, a dynamic action RPG full of hope. In this high-energy world with exhilarating combat mechanics, you'll face malevolent forces in solo or team play".
Available in early access since September 2024 on Steam, Towerborne continues its development while being playable in a preliminary version on Xbox. The studio is planning a free-to-play version 1.0 release. Gameplay is based on a formula combining side-scrolling combat and progression via an action-RPG-style loot system. Each player takes on the role of a "Prodigy", a being returned from the spirit world to defend the Belfry against hostile forces.
Customization plays an important role in the game, from the character's appearance to weapons and equipment, with the possibility of adapting one's play style according to the Umbrae and the level of danger chosen. Content is designed to evolve regularly, with a continuously updated world map, new enemies and new scenarios. The studio has also announced that it will be offering Twitch Drops over the coming weeks via its official channel.
Finally, the game was released simultaneously worldwide, with specific launch times for each region. In France, Towerborne became playable on April 29 at 6 p.m., initially in a "builder" version. This synchronized rollout prevented early access through regional location changes. Get ready to jump into the action!
