Developer Ryan Laley Games announced the early access start date for the asymmetric horror game Mimic, set for October 27, 2026. The game, which features five-player official matchmaking and up to ten in private matches, will launch on PC via Epic Games Store and Steam, with PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions planned for 2027.
The early access window for Mimic, previously scheduled for Q4 2026, now has a specific date. The game's store pages opened in May 2024, and intermittent playtests have run over the past several months.
Mimic is an identity concealment game set on the spaceship Icarus, which is set to self-destruct toward the sun. Players take on one of three roles: Crew, Agent, or Mimic. Crew members repair systems and aim to escape via escape pods, while Agents work with the Mimic to eliminate the crew. The Mimic can kill crew members directly or direct murderous android NPCs, which roam the ship and pose a threat to all players.
Proximity chat supports deduction, and dead players can continue as ghosts. Private matches allow adjustments like one-hit death or Mimic invisibility. Twitch integration lets viewers give instructions to the android NPCs.
