Along with a couple minor visual changes here and there, in this update I have added an Art Gallery to the bonus content menu that is unlocked after beating the games hardest standard difficulty!

This gallery includes a couple pieces of great art made by friends and fans of the game that I really loved and wanted to find a place for in the actual game! I hope you enjoy it! (If you get to see it that is.)

Some of you might have noticed that Steam is now showing Icaria Demo as available. The truth is: not yet, but soon. We've been working with a fantastic group of play testers since the beginning of January, turning their feedback into fixes and features, and working through more mundane things like settings and Steam integration. So far it looks like we're on track to release the demo by the end of February.
The demo includes a tutorial which introduces the automation systems and many of the early game mechanics. In addition you can play through the game up to the first major milestone with two different difficulty settings. We've trimmed the first milestone a bit, but there are still several hours of game to play.

We've still got a lot of work to do for a full release; during that time we'll be updating the demo with changes to balance and difficulty, quality of life, and other updates to keep it in sync with development of the full game. In addition we'll be listening carefully to the community for feedback and ideas that will guide ongoing development. Icaria is an experiment and it regularly surprises us as we learn what it truly needs to be. We are hoping you will join in that conversation.

✅ New Map added: Castle
Welcome to the new map, the mysterious and dangerous "Castle". Face medieval horrors as you explore this ancient fortress.






✅ Removed Map: Abandoned City
After extensive evaluations, I have decided to remove the map "Abandoned City" due to problems with size, imbalance and gameplay.

I optimised zombie movement in the new map "Castle", ensuring a balanced and compelling challenge for survivors.

I have revised and updated the initial weapons for three of our brave characters. Get ready for a new gaming experience with improved and balanced weapons.

I have made corrections to ensure a more accurate and immersive localised gaming experience.

We’re very excited to announce that Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is out now!

Embark on a journey to New Eden, in 1695, where communities of settlers are plagued by a dreadful curse. Antea Duarte and Red mac Raith are two trained spirit-hunters who swore to protect the living from the threat of lingering ghosts and specters. Yet, when tragedy strikes and Antea herself becomes a ghost, you must face a dreadful choice: will you honor your Banisher’s oath to the living or save your departed partner?
As Banishers, step into New Eden’s inhabitants' lives, investigate the source of evil, unravel chilling mysteries, explore diverse landscapes, and interact with unforgettable characters whose fate lies in your hands.

Dive into a powerful and intimate journey in this narrative Action-RPG where your choices wield dramatic consequences.



Hello!

Stéphane and Philippe here. We’re the Narrative Director and Creative Director

worked so hard on over the past few years.

We're excited to see you face the challenges and choices you’ll have to make.
Will you sacrifice the living to bring Antea back, or will you keep your Banisher’s
oath? After the many decisions you’ll make throughout the game, there are five
endings for you to reveal and we hope you find them entertaining and satisfying.

Life to the living, Death to the dead.
