WorldMap announced on September 16, 2026 that the console versions of The End of History will be released in the first quarter of 2027, the same window as the full Steam version. The sandbox strategy RPG is developed by Tatamibeya, an individual developer based in Poland. The supported platforms are PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, and porting development has already begun. The game entered Steam early access on December 10, 2025 and has received repeated updates since; the console versions will be built with content that reflects the improvements accumulated during early access. A new trailer was published alongside the announcement. The current Steam early access build will be playable at the WorldMap booth at Tokyo Game Show 2026, which runs at Makuhari Messe from September 17, 2026. Visitors to the booth will receive a pamphlet featuring observation records collected from users on the game's official Discord server, and Tatamibeya will be at the venue on business days for interviews.
The End of History places the player in a fictional medieval feudal world as a nameless ronin, not a hero, and a World Collapse Degree rises as division and hatred spread. When that value passes a threshold, the game ends. The player can become a knight, a noble, a king, or a bystander; NPCs act on their own and history advances even if the player does nothing.
Tatamibeya is Hiroshi Sakakibara, who studied Western history and researched Tanzanian architectural decoration before working as an environment artist on titles including Cyberpunk 2077 at overseas studios. Earlier individual works include NOSTALGIC TRAIN in 2018 and FARAWAY TRAIN: The Farthest Train in 2021. WorldMap is an indie label that handles publishing and IP development and runs the indie exhibition event DREAMSCAPE. The booth at Tokyo Game Show 2026 is in the Indie Game Corner, booth 09-E74, and interviews are accepted on September 17 and 18.
