Survival RPG “Bellwright” Set to Launch on Steam Early Access
Hey gamers, get ready for an exciting new addition to the Survival RPG genre! After an impressive debut during June’s Steam Next Fest, Bellwright is gearing up to launch on Steam Early Access this December. If you’re a fan of gritty survival games with a touch of rebellion, this is definitely something to keep an eye on.
A Glimpse into a Post-HS2 Leeds
Developed by Donkey Crew, Bellwright takes you on a thrilling journey of building settlements, liberating locals from a tyrannical monarchy, and fighting back against your oppressors with sword, shield, and arrow. It’s like stepping into a future version of Leeds after the cancellation of HS2. Picture yourself building a humble shack and braving the odds to survive in this harsh world.
Steam Next Fest Success and the Cozy Experience You’ve Been Waiting For
Earlier this year, Bellwright stole the spotlight with over 100,000 gamers eagerly downloading and trying out the demo during Steam Next Fest. With no other major releases in sight for Survival RPG fans, and the highly anticipated Ark 2 still missing in action, Bellwright might just be the cozy experience you’ve been craving as we approach the holiday season.
Donkey Crew: From Mount and Blade Modders to Bellwright
You might be wondering, who are the masterminds behind Bellwright? Donkey Crew is a Polish studio that emerged from a talented group of Mount and Blade modders, according to their official website. As a longtime fan of the Mount and Blade series, I immediately noticed the unmistakable inspiration that permeates Bellwright. This is fantastic news for fans who have been eagerly awaiting a new adventure in a similar vein. Donkey Crew also developed Last Oasis, an incredibly unique survival game that allowed players to construct massive wooden land ships.
A Blunt Rework and Controversy: Lessons Learned
Last Oasis, while innovative and captivating, faced its fair share of challenges. In a bold move, the developers released a blog post titled “Last Oasis Sucks” (source) before embarking on a complete rework of the game. This decision divided the player base and sparked controversy among PvP-focused players. Let’s hope that Donkey Crew has learned from this experience and delivers a focused and polished game right from the start with Bellwright.

If you’re eager to find out if Bellwright lives up to the hype, mark your calendars for its early access launch this December. Keep an eye on Steam and be prepared to jump into this thrilling survival RPG. Build your settlement, embrace the role of a rebel, and fight for your survival in a world teetering on the edge.
