February 20, 2025 - Hooded Horse and Digital Sun are excited to announce that dark fantasy fortress building RTS Cataclismo is ready to leave early access, and it’s hitting 1.0 with a bang! The 1.0 update will land on March 20, 2025 on Steam, and the game will also release straight into 1.0 via GOG and the Epic Games Store at the same time.
The final parts of the campaign, a new biome, and a new game mode are just some of the things that will usher in a new era of defiance as players fight back against the horrors of the Mist. The 1.0 update includes:
- A new building piece that was previously available only to Kickstarter backers. It has a high cost and can teleport units in the same way the Citadel does.
- The final form of the Survival game mode which comes with new roguelite mechanics and plenty of quality-of-life improvements from testing.
- The Depths biome –a murky, new setting that will be available in Campaign, Survival, Skirmish, and the Level Editor. It also comes with a unique mechanic tied to darkness and light levels.
- Opaline horrors. These pearlescent versions of horrors have never been exposed to light and, therefore, are more vicious and menacing than the other creatures of the Mist.
- Six new missions to finish off the single-player campaign, most of which will be set in the Depths biome.
- Another wave of improvements, balancing, tweaks, and bug fixes, all based on feedback from the early access period.
- A makeover for Iris Renegate, the hero, including a new set of skills.
Since launching into early access in July 2024, Digital Sun has released over a dozen updates, major and minor. New content includes a new biome, skirmish maps, Sandbox mode, a veterancy system for units, and even an overhaul of resources gathering.
The game is localized from English into German, French, Spanish, Polish, Russian, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, and Japanese. The following languages will be added during the 1.0 update – Czech, Hungarian, Italian, Turkish, and Ukrainian.
Cataclismo is available on PC via Steam Early Access for a base price $29.99 / £24.99 / €29.99 / ¥3,980. A press kit is available.
