Publisher Toplitz Productions and developer Render Cube have announced their feudal survival sim Medieval Dynasty leaves early access this fall.
While Medieval Dynasty leaves early access this fall, the game has been available for Windows PC (via Steam) since September 17, 2020 and has garnered warm reception from early access adopters. The full launch of the game is set for September 23, roughly a year since its early access launch.
The full release brings with it the 1.0 update, adding “new content, balancing improvements, overall performance and game polishing, as well as new story elements.”
The 1.0 release of the game will add the threat of bandits, which naturally come in to try pilfering and destroying the medieval village you have meticulously built up with your other peasants. Also coming in the full version is herbalism, which lets you grow plants to trade or make into healing items.
Lastly, from now until August 9 Toplitz Productions is clearancing the price of the game 20% down to $24.99 during the sale – when it hits full release the base price of the game will go up as well.

Here’s a rundown on the game:
Europe in the early Middle Ages — Nobles and clergy rule and the trade between nations brings prosperity as well as envy, distrust, and greed. Military conflict is everywhere and entire continents are changing.
In Medieval Dynasty, you take on the role of a young man who has fled from war and wants to take his fate into his own hands. From being alone, inexperienced and poor you will develop into a master of many skills, a leader of your community and the founder of a prosperous dynasty which is meant to last and prosper for generations to come. Defending against wild animals while hunting for food, gathering resources and crafting equipment, building a house and erecting a whole bustling village while founding a family all contribute to a unique gameplay experience across many genres. Tough winters and unexpected events challenge your skills and dexterity as you strive to build your own legacy.
You can choose to follow the main chapters, solve the questlines or just roam around and explore the vast medieval world – but be careful as wolves or bears may try to take a bite from you… Begin with the simplest things for your own survival like hunting and farming as well as building yourself a home. Found a family and have a heir – entice others to live near and work for you, erect many other buildings to transform your settlement into a vibrant village and, ultimately, a thriving dynasty that will reign for generations.
A massive medieval open 3D world awaits… Be aware of harsh winters and unexpected events while honing your skills to turn from a medieval survivor into the ruler of a dynasty. Grab your axe, hammer, or hunting bow – and craft your legacy!
