Delverium Hits Steam Early Access With 100,000 Wishlists Behind It
An indie debut carrying 100,000 pre-launch wishlists into Early Access is the clearest test of whether that wishlist demand converts into a player base the studio can build on.

Sagestone Games released Delverium in Steam Early Access for PC on September 22. The pixel-art, top-down survival sandbox is playable by up to eight players online, with local split-screen for four. Brisbane-based Sagestone is behind the title, which cleared 100,000 wishlist registrations before launch, 19,000 of them in Japan, and its roadmap lists mod support, new bosses, and new biomes.
Sagestone Games is an indie developer based in Brisbane, Australia, and Delverium is its debut title. Online play supports up to eight players; local split-screen supports four. The world is procedurally generated, and the feature list runs from farming and base building to dungeon runs that uncover fragments of the game's lore.
Early Access is not the end of the plan. The roadmap lists mod support, entirely new bosses, and new biomes, and lead developer Scott Lowther said the team intends to keep working with the community during and after Early Access. Japanese language support is planned for a 2026 release.
