After a quick stop in Early Access, developer Walking Tree Games and publisher Starbreeze Entertainment have announced that their Lovecraftian strategy game The Tribe Must Survive will be exiting Early Access and launching in full on Steam on May 23rd. Alongside the expected fixes and balancing, the 1.0 release of The Tribe Must Survive will add major new features to the game, including improved meta-progression, gameplay depth and new content, as well as “improving the first-time player experience which will significantly enhance replayability.”

“Having Early Access for The Tribe Must Survive turned out to be a great decision,” said Simon Mittrücker, Co-Founder and Game Director of Walking Tree Games. “The generous player feedback has allowed us to improve lots of things about the game, from squashing bugs and UX changes all the way to new gameplay mechanics and entirely new features. It’s been an exciting journey and we’re super grateful to have such a supportive community. We hope they will have tons of fun with the 1.0 launch.”

In The Tribe Must Survive, players are transported to a Lovecraftian Stone Age world where survival is not only a test of skill but a journey into the unknown. The game has been meticulously crafted for players to experience that seamlessly blends strategy, survival, and the eerie allure of Lovecraftian horror. There’s no single way to survive, and each tribe will have different advantages and troubles for the player to solve driven by the tribe members’ behaviors.
