SummaryThank you for all your support leading up to the launch of our newest game, Kiln<\/a>.Today, you\u2019re getting the first look at our Spring 2026 Roadmap that includes Dinosaur Decorations, new maps, and more!Kiln launches April 23 for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC, Xbox Cloud, PlayStation 5, Steam, and day one with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. It will support Xbox Play Anywhere and Handheld Optimized.<\/p>\n

Years ago, I had this idea. I wanted to make a game where players were encouraged to be creative. A game where you could mold your own little characters and then have those characters fight your friends\u2019 little characters. A game where creation and creativity were approachable for anybody. This was the core idea around what we now call Kiln<\/a>!<\/p>\n

\"Kiln<\/p>\n

You could think of it as a pottery party. You team up with your friends, make pots together, share them, and then go into battle. We ended up making the world\u2019s first online multiplayer pottery party brawler!<\/p>\n

Kiln couldn\u2019t have been possible without the Double Fine Insiders. You\u2019ve really helped us refine and hone this idea and make the experience what it is today. THANK YOU for your time, for being honest and constructive. We\u2019re about to reveal some upcoming cool things, but first I wanted to extend a huge thank you to all of you.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s What We\u2019re Cooking Up<\/p>\n

\"Kiln<\/p>\n

April 23 is just the beginning. We\u2019re launching Kiln with its core game mode, Quench, and shipping with five unique maps:<\/p>\n

Athena\u2019s War Room<\/p>\n

Anubis\u2019 Boat of the Dead<\/p>\n

Hermes\u2019 Package Center<\/p>\n

Dionysus\u2019 Boogie Lounge<\/p>\n

Set\u2019s Basement Mosh Pit<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve already joined us in a previous beta, you\u2019ll see that there are two new maps for you to experience right at launch! This extends to decorations too. In the beta we had a level cap of 15, but at launch you\u2019ll be able to unlock all the way up to level 50, with so many more to unlock and discover.<\/p>\n

Every week for the first month after launch we\u2019re bottling up some updates for you! Right after launch in week one, we\u2019ll have a fun Dinosaur Decoration Pack so you can make some really ancient pottery.<\/p>\n

Then you can look forward to a hot new map in week two, and even more customization options beyond that. There\u2019s even something for the cat and dog lovers out there.<\/p>\n

Once we\u2019re in summer, you can look forward to two new Quench maps, additions to our progression system, Missions, a Pot Journal, and some other secret things. Later this year, we\u2019ll unveil a fully featured Photo Mode and more ways to play.<\/p>\n

On top of that, every month you can look forward to fun new cosmetics, so let us know what you really want to see and what you want to decorate your pots with.<\/p>\n

\"Kiln<\/p>\n

Kiln will be available as both a Standard<\/a> ($19.99) and Fired Up Edition<\/a> ($29.99) on the Xbox Store, Steam, and PlayStation Store \u2013 and it\u2019s available for pre-order now. The Fired Up Edition includes the base game as well as premium glazes, stickers, attachments, and custom pots!<\/p>\n

Thanks so much for joining us on this journey in developing Kiln<\/a>. We can\u2019t wait to see you in the Wedge starting on Thursday, April 23!<\/p>\n

Double Fine Productions presents Kiln, a pottery power-fantasy that celebrates both Creativity and Destruction: the pleasure that comes from both making beautiful things, and then smashing those things to smithereens. Create your pot, grab your friends, and join a team of colorful spirits who face off against one another in online arenas, where the ceramic creations you sculpt on a pottery wheel become the bodies you bring into battle.<\/p>\n

There are a multitude of different sizes and combinations to discover, each with unique abilities and attacks, along with new and surprising ways to play. Work together to find the best combination of pots and play-styles to break through enemy lines, and collect enough water to douse the flames of the enemy\u2019s kiln \u2014 Does your team have what it takes to shape and smash your way to victory? As the battlefield becomes strewn with the shattered fragments of friend and foes alike, your brawling skills and some great teamwork will be required to assure victory.<\/p>\n

After the battle is won, head to The Wedge to practice your pottery prowess, decorate your pots to make them yours, then share your creations with others (and admire their handiwork, too).<\/p>\n

Create and Destroy Together \u2013 Making pots and breaking pots are both better with friends. Hang out, experiment with clay and share what you make, or jump right into multiplayer battles and start swinging!<\/p>\n
