Edenfall: Legacy of the First Wardens launches on Steam on 8 December 2026. Its heroine, Venya, can shift into a wolf, a raccoon or a raven.
Everflux Games says players take control of Venya, a young heroine who switches between human, wolf, raccoon, and raven forms. The game’s Steam page lists the date, and a release-date trailer arrived with the news. Everflux Games hasn’t given a price.
Each form has its own movement system and combat toolset. Chaining attacks from different forms unlocks combos, magical crystals teach new ones, and sidequests add customisation options.
The story sends Venya through Eden, a world overrun by evil creatures. Defeating every enemy and the boss of an area restores the corrupted land there, and along the way the player learns about their people’s past and magical abilities. The game is single-player.
Steam’s page lists controller support and English full audio, with subtitles in German, French, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese. The minimum requires Windows 10, an Intel Core i5-6600 or AMD Ryzen 5 1400, 8 GB of RAM, and a GeForce GTX 960 4GB or Radeon RX 470 4GB. The recommended setup asks for Windows 11, an Intel Core i7-8700 or AMD Ryzen 5 3600, and 8 GB of RAM. Its graphics options are a GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, Radeon RX 5700 XT, or Intel Arc A770.
That date sits inside the window Everflux Games gave in June. The company showed a trailer at The MIX Summer Game Showcase on 1 June and confirmed a Q4 2026 launch on Steam. Gematsu reported at the time that the game would also come to the Epic Games Store. The new announcement names only Steam and doesn’t mention Epic.
A free demo has been on Steam since June 2024, and it got an update for Steam Next Fest in June 2026. The game ran a successful Kickstarter in 2024. RPGamer lists The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Kena: Bridge of Spirits, and Lost Ember as its inspirations.
Behind it all is Laurenz Baumgartner, who goes by Everflux Games. He is a one-man studio from Austria. Edenfall is his debut game, and he worked as an architect with years of experience in architectural visualisation before it.

Baumgartner also looked beyond PC: “If the game finds success and resonates with players, I’d love to bring it to consoles as well.” Everflux Games says console ports are being considered for next year.
Press and creators can request review codes through a form from Everflux Games, which says codes will go out one to two weeks before launch.
Another cosy Steam release, Winter Whiskers, follows a day later on 9 December.
