Luminary has surpassed 40,000 Steam wishlists as of late June 2026, and the two-person developer Refractive Entertainment is aiming for 50,000 before the game enters Early Access on July 30, 2026.
Refractive Entertainment's open-world action RPG Luminary will launch into Steam Early Access on July 30, 2026. The game is built by a two-person team and has drawn attention through a viral gameplay video and a well-received demo. The demo holds a 90% positive rating from 241 user reviews on Steam.
Luminary supports drop-in/drop-out multiplayer, character creation, combat with swords and magic, as well as mining, fishing, and town restoration systems. The developer also announced a first-week campaign that will inscribe player usernames into the game.
The game's wishlist registrations stood at 25,000 in March 2026 after the viral video, then grew steadily to over 40,000 by late June. The developer has stated a goal of reaching 50,000 wishlists before the Early Access launch.
