Radical Fish Games, the studio behind the acclaimed action RPG CrossCode, officially unveiled its next game: Alabaster Dawn. Previously known as "Project Terra," the game was recently publicized on the developer's site. Alabaster Dawn is scheduled for release on Steam Early Access in late 2025, according to the developer. While no precise release date has been confirmed, the game is now available for wishlisting on Steam.

Radical Fish Games also confirmed that they intend to release a public demo for Alabaster Dawn sometime in the future, with its Early Access launch expected in late 2025.

For those attending Gamescom this year, Radical Fish Games will be present at the event and offer select attendees a first hands-on experience with Alabaster Dawn. The studio mentioned that there will be limited spots available to play, but "we’ll also be there at the booth for a chat from Wednesday to Friday, so there’s that, too!"

Alabaster Dawn's Combat Inspired by DMC and KH

Alabaster Dawn is set in Tiran Sol, a world in ruins and ravaged by the goddess Nyx, which has transformed the world into a wasteland and caused the other gods and people to disappear. You play as Juno, the exiled Chosen One, to rouse the remnants of humanity and dispel Nyx's curse from the world.

The game is expected to offer around 30-60 hours of gameplay, featuring seven regions to explore. Players will concentrate on rebuilding settlements, creating trade routes, and more, all while participating in fast-paced combat inspired by games like Devil May Cry, Kingdom Hearts, and the studio's own CrossCode. Choose from eight unique weapons, each possessing its own skill tree. Other gameplay elements include parkour, puzzles, enchantments, and cooking.

The studio proudly announced to fans that the game has reached a significant milestone, with the first 1-2 hours of gameplay being nearly completely playable at its current development stage. "It may not sound like much, but getting to that point is a big milestone for us," the developers announced.
