Culdcept Begins Passes 100,000 Shipments, Steam Version Set for Q4 2026
Culdcept has always been a Japan-centric board-and-card hybrid, so moving the newest entry to Steam is the clearest sign yet that the publisher wants the series read by an overseas audience.
Reporting from 2 sources: GameBusiness.jp, Game Spark.
Neos announced that cumulative shipments of Culdcept Begins have passed 100,000 units. The board-and-card game launched on July 16, 2026, as the first new entry in the series in 10 years. The figure includes downloads, and the title drew players new to Culdcept as well as series fans. A Steam version is in development for Q4 2026.
The shipment count covers both physical and downloadable copies, according to Neos. Culdcept Begins shipped on July 16, 2026, with the design, UI, and world setting renewed while the series' board-and-card system carries over. Omiya Soft created the series in 1997. Development on the Steam release is in progress for Q4 2026, a move toward the storefront's overseas-heavy user base. Culdcept The First, a revival of the original entry, went to PC via Steam, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch on July 30.
