We have something especially exciting to share: Talegames and Faeland are officially part of the ID@Xbox Developer Acceleration Program!

- Faeland Demo Now on Xbox - 4 June 2026
Hello Faelanders, We are happy to share a new step toward Faeland’s multi-platform release: Faeland has been selected to take part in the Xbox Indie Selects Demo Fest. As part of the event, players on Xbox can now play a Faeland demo featuring the prologue section of the game. You can find the demo here: https://www.xbox.com/en-us/games/store/faeland-demo/9N1TXBZSS0N0 You can also visit the Xbox Indie Selects Demo Fest page here: https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/06/04/id-xbox-indie-selects-demo-fest-xbox-june-2026/ For many of you here on Steam, this will mostly be a familiar early slice of the adventure. Still, if you own an Xbox and would like to see how Faeland feels there, we would love for you to give it a go and let us know how it runs. Beyond the event itself, this is an important milestone in the path toward v1.0. The Xbox demo has passed certification, which means a playable Fa…
- v1.0 Status Update - 9 March 2026
Hello Faelanders, We wanted to share a new update on where things stand with Faeland v1.0. Back in September, when we announced the postponement of the original release date, we also shared that we were moving forward with a simultaneous release on PC and consoles. At the time, we said we were aiming for Q1 2026. Since then, we have been working hard toward that goal and tackling a number of important technical challenges involved in preparing the game for a proper multiplatform launch. Unity update and technical work One of the biggest steps has been updating the project to a much newer version of Unity. Because Faeland has been in development for many years, the project was still running on an older version that would not meet current certification requirements. This was a necessary step forward, but it also meant that many parts of the game stopped behaving exactly as they had before…

- V1.0 Release Date News - 10 October 2025
Hello FaelandersIt has been a few weeks since we shared the postponement of the v1.0 release. We want to follow up with a clear and detailed update about what changed, why it changed, and what comes next. Our release pathEarlier we explained that moving forward we had two options for v1.0: release on PC first or release on PC and Consoles at the same time. After reviewing your feedback and our own projections, we have chosen the simultaneous multi-platform route.Two weeks before our planned date, a major release landed in the same window. The overlap meant the Q4 2025 window was not viable. Rather than launch into a crowded moment, we decided to coordinate with partners and choose a window where Faeland can stand out. We are aligning development, certification, and store planning toward a Q1 2026 launch window on PC and consoles. We will share the exact date and platform list once the r…

Fixed an issue where the dragon would still appear for the riddle event after being defeated.
