Updates and development timeline

Current status

As of November 1, 2026, Malignus is in the final stretch before Early Access. The full game is not yet purchasable. The free demo — also described as the beta test — is available on Steam, and the Early Access launch is scheduled for November 13, 2026.

That status is based on Mossbomb's official site, the press kit and the Steam store pages. Steam can display November 12 in some regions; the developer's own materials say November 13. The exact unlock hour has not been announced.

Development timeline

Early Access plan

The developer's Early Access answers say the game is fully playable today with six races, four Bosses, wired traps, invasions, prisoners, overworld raids, 30+ creatures, four schools of magic and 2–4 player co-op. They also say to expect bugs and balance changes. The Early Access page covers the buying decision.

Patch notes policy

There are no public Malignus patch notes before launch because the game has not launched. We will not invent a patch history to make the site look active.

Once Early Access begins, this page will track official updates from Mossbomb and the Steam news feed. Our policy:

• Link the primary source. Every update entry points to the official post or Steam announcement.
• Separate fixes from plans. “Planned” and “released” are different labels.
• Update affected pages. When a boss, trap or system changes, the database page and its reviewed date change too.
• No fake freshness. We do not change a date to make a page look newly updated.
• No content padding. If a patch only fixes a crash, the entry says so; it does not become a 1,000-word article.
