StoneLab Games opened a Kickstarter campaign for EthrA on September 9, 2026, seeking 40,000 euros for a 3D dot art open-world RPG targeting PC, PS5, and Nintendo Switch 2. A Steam playtest of an early build opened on August 12, 2026, and the full release date is undecided.
EthrA has moved from a long-dormant Steam page to a playable test and a funding campaign in about a month. StoneLab Games opened playtest registration for the action-adventure RPG on PC via Steam in early August 2026, with access granted to everyone who registered once final testing completed. The playtest went live on August 12, 2026, as a prototype in early development focused on core combat and exploration. The build is 2D dot-pixel characters in a 3D world, and it supports Japanese.
The studio described the playtest as a check on whether combat and exploration are enjoyable. Survival, farming, base building, and multiplayer are planned for later and depend on feedback. The full release date is undecided. The game follows farm boy Bob and Veil, a rare magic-wielding child, across a world dotted with remnants of an ancient civilization.
On September 9, 2026, StoneLab Games opened a Kickstarter campaign. The pitch is a 3D dot art open-world RPG with two protagonists controlled at once: Bob handles melee while Veil casts spells and buffs, and she can ride on Bob's back for protection. The campaign targets PC, PS5, and Nintendo Switch 2, with a goal of 40,000 euros. The campaign is the current step for a project that had been quiet for nearly four years before registration opened.
