Chained Beasts roadmap

Checked 2026-10-18

Version 1.0 shipped on 15 October 2026. The only public plan after that is the 12 October roadmap: a December content patch, then PvP.

The official Steam news feed was checked again on 18 October 2026. The latest studio announcement in that feed is the 15 October launch post; no later versioned changelog appears in that feed. This does not establish a current executable build number. The December 1.1 and Q1 2027 PvP entries are plans, not releases.

Why the wishlist numbers are here

Featherweight said the wishlist crossed 120,000 on 9 April 2026 and cited 200,000 in the 12 October roadmap post. I am repeating their figures, not a SteamDB scrape of my own. They are marketing milestones, and they do not change the price.

Discord for patch chatter: the launch-day invite was discord.gg/X2PgBVzYR3. If it expires, use the link on the Steam store page. Older invites from 2025 posts are not the one I recommend.

Chained Beasts release date

Is PvP in the game?

No. It is on the roadmap for the first quarter of 2027.

Where are the patch notes?

No dedicated notes page was live at launch. Steam news and the studio site are the places a note would show up.
