Grimshire news & patch notes

*Edit The plush availability has been extended by 1 one week, it now Ends: Jun 6 @5:00AM GMT+2 The Lavender Alpheep Plush is now available at Makeship.com. We created a Plush poll for the discord community to vote on in August of 2025, then we collaborated with Makeship in January on designing this cute lil guy, and it's finally ready! I named mine Meatbag.

Hello farmers, we've just uploaded Version 0.28.11 Localization: It took longer than expected, but we finally have the localization system/backend implemented. This will allow us to load in new translations, make adjustments, and keep track of new dialog that needs to be translated as we work through early access to v1. We've been working with 100+ fan translators in 19 language teams on the discord server. Adding translations to a game with a lot of dialog is a massive effort and we really appreciate the fan translators hard work and dedication in working with us, especially while we were building out the system and discovering all the issues that needed to be solved. Korean and Brazilian Portuguese are the only languages that are ready to be released, hopefully we can release more in the near future. If you are a native speaker of Korean or Brazilian Portuguese, can you provide us feedback on the quality of the translations?

Hey everyone! The day is finally here, Grimshire is officially out in Early Access! We’ve been working on this cozy-but-grim little world for the past 3 years, and we’re super excited to finally share it with y'all.

There’s still a lot more we want to add, improve, and polish. Your feedback will help us shape the future of the game! Thank so much for being here whether you’ve been following since the start or just joined. We can’t wait to hear what you think.

A few important things I want to mention: 1) In the previous announcement for the release date drop I mentioned that the content offers about 20–30 hours but after doing a lot of beta testing, we found out it's more like 40-50 hours. Enjoy!

2) I'm sorry the old demo save files won't carry over into the full game. Too much has changed in the old save file structure. Note that any new save files created in the new demo version uploaded today (v0.22.8DEMO) will be compatible with the full game.

3) In early access, you can play throughout year 1, but your file will be stuck on Winter 28th once you get there. The day keeps repeating after you go to bed. We will be adding more content and story in the future. 4) The original soundtrack dropped on Steam today as well! Grimshire v1.0 Roadmap These are the major things we're planning on adding to the game. This list does not include everything and is subject to change.

• Old Demo (v0.20.0) saves won’t carry over to the EA version. However, if you make a new file in the updated demo after EA launch, it will be compatible and migrate over to the full game, it's just the old demo saves that won't be compatible.
• You get all content updates throughout EA and the full version of the game when it releases, your file will not be deleted when there are content updates.
• There will never be microtransactions or paid DLC. You pay one price one time, to gain access to everything that will ever be in the game.
