Soul Chained launched on Steam on September 7, 2026, after a delay caused by a Steam review that flagged a naked boss. Kyroware Games released the co-op Souls-like at 905 yen, with a 30% discount to 633 yen through September 22.
Soul Chained is a co-op Souls-like action game from Kyroware Games, developed solo and released on PC via Steam in September 2026. Players are chained to a former enemy and wander purgatory; the chain works as a hindrance and a weapon for tripping bosses. Up to four players team up in Havoc Mode, and a friend pass lets one purchase cover the group. Kyroware announced adjustable jiggle physics for character chests, from gentle to vigorous, when it first set an August 2026 window and released a demo.
The schedule moved three times. An August 8 announcement put the launch on September 1. On August 29, with the date listed as August 31, Kyroware delayed the game because Steam's review was incomplete. A boss, Grundle the Defiler, appeared fully naked with key parts hidden by pixelation, and Steam was investigating whether the character contained inappropriate content. The release date was unknown at that point.
On September 2, Kyroware set a new date of September 7. Wishlist registrations had passed 50,000. The release held: the game passed review and launched on Steam, ending the delay. The September 8 launch story prices it at 905 yen, with a 30% discount to 633 yen available until September 22.
