Inkbound from the indie studio Shiny Shoe will be leaving early access in its upcoming 1.0 update. The studio is known for its previous deckbuilding roguelike Monster Train. Inkbound is a tactical co-op roguelite, and with its official release, it adds a new narrative, additional classes to choose from, more worlds to explore, and quality-of-life changes.

Inkbound was released in early access for Steam in May 2023. The game has had a plethora of consistent updates with new narrative questlines refined over the last year. The official release will add a final boss, new challenges, extra unlockables, all-new cutscenes, and fully voiced English voice acting for its Rise of the Unbound content.

The 1.0 update will provide new ways to play such as complete controller support and an improved Steam Deck experience with finished localization in Chinese, Japanese, German, and French. Game progression will be expedited in comparison to previous updates and some balance changes will be tempered in response to players' feedback.

From now until March 6, Inkbound will be 20% off, while in early access. Inkbound will officially be released on Steam on April 10, as its definitive version.
