We’ve known that Timberborn<\/a> has been approaching the end of its early access journey for some time, but developer Mechanistry had yet to pin down a specific 1.0 launch date for its popular beaver-themed city builder. Now though, as the developer gnaws through the last few items on its to-do list, it has formally revealed when the game will depart early access, and it’s happening in March.<\/p>\n

Announcing the date in a Steam post<\/a>, Mechanistry also showed off the game’s intro cinematic, which it has temporarily redubbed as a “lore trailer”. I query this title, not only because lore isn’t generally foregrounded in this manner, but also because the arc of the trailer is “some beavers cross a desert and then start building a city,” which is not exactly deep worldbuilding. It is a nicely animated video, though, with some supremely gravelly narration from British actor Shaun Dooley.<\/p>\n

As Mechanistry notes in the post, Timberborn has come a long way since its debut into early access in 2021. Previous updates have introduced water pumps<\/a>, robotic beavers<\/a> and hazardous polluted water<\/a>, alongside whole new transportation methods<\/a> such as ziplines and water tubes. The current version has 16 playable maps, faction-specific wonders, and full support for mods and Steam Workshop.<\/p>\n
