Set in the universe of the Earthlock RPGs, Ikonei Island: An Earthlock Adventure takes the rich world-building and magical setting of the franchise into new territory. As you explore a diverse and intriguing landscape with secrets waiting to be uncovered, you will discover ancient ruins from a bygone civilization and unlock a host of different biomes, ranging from icy mountains and parched deserts, to dense jungles and humid swamps.

Alongside the game’s satisfying crafting systems, farming, combat and everything else Ikonei Island has to offer, players will have the opportunity to make the island their own. An upgradable hamlet serves as a base of operations and unique placeable items allow you to customise the island to your liking. That extends to your home, which can be decorated to your own tastes!

More details on the roadmap for Ikonei Island‘s Early Access journey will be shared soon, along with the Early Access release date, but Snowcastle invites players to start offering their feedback now on the Snowcastle Discord. The community will be vital in shaping the tweaks and additions made to the game during its time on Early Access, so Snowcastle are eager for players to get involved in the process and tell them what they think!

“We are thrilled to launch the open beta of Ikonei Island to players via a Steam Playtest today for two weeks”, said Bendik Stang, Game Director & Co-founder of Snowcastle Games. “The open beta will give players a first look at what we have created so far – dancing pirates, mystical shrines and curious creatures all form part of the adventure. We can’t wait to gather community feedback that will help shape Ikonei Island as we move into Steam Early Access”.
