Coming from developer Leap Studio, Realm of Ink is a roguelite currently available in Early Access. The game’s release window has faced a number of delays, and the team has taken to Steam to offer their announcement, apology and explanation of how things are in one go.
“As many of you are already aware, the full release of Realm of Ink has been delayed, with the new target window set for November 2025. We sincerely apologize to everyone who had been looking forward to the March release. That said, we are committed to making this delay worthwhile. The upcoming version will significantly surpass the original March plans, bringing more content, greater depth, and a more refined overall experience.”
The original plan was to launch the full version of the game in March, however, in January Realm of Ink was removed from Steam. It took two weeks of communication and appeals for the team to come to a hard truth: once delisted, it’s extremely difficult for a game to be restored or re-released in its original form. Some suggested changing the name or rebranding the game, but on March 7th it got unexpectedly restored as it was. By then, the team had already started working on the upgraded version.
The new rollout plan includes three phases:
- June 2025 – Two new chapters + system updates
- September 2025 – Two more chapters + additional content
- November 2025 – Final content release + official full launch
