Magical Action Roguelike Noita Leaves Steam Early Access In October

Developer Nolla Games has announced that its action roguelike Noita, which we last checked out during GDC's 2019 Indie Mix livestream, will leave Steam Early Access on October 15.

The 1.0 launch--available on PC via the GOG, Humble, Itch, and Steam stores--is Noita's "biggest update yet," according to Nolla Games. It includes new enemies, perks, music, and spells, as well as game improvements and bug fixes. The studio also said the update features "other surprises and perhaps a new game mode," in addition to Twitch integration that lets viewers vote on in-game events during streams.

To celebrate the launch of Noita's 1.0 release, Nolla Games is running a sale for the game on Steam. For the next 48 hours, Noita is 20 percent off, slashing the price from $20 to $16. The studio also shared a new announcement trailer, which you can check out below.

Noita is a magical action roguelike in which every pixel is physically simulated. This means that each pixel interacts with the physics of the game world, providing a smoothness to the animation. You can also create your own spells as you delve deeper in the procedurally generated world where death is permanent. Check the PC system requirements below to see if your rig can handle Noita--though the specs are extremely modest.
