- Finally free from 'mixed' Steam review purgatory, a new Nightingale update turns its biggest frustration into a strength - 8 November 2025
A new Nightingale update has just launched, and it's starting to feel like Inflexion's 'gaslamp fantasy' adventure is finally beginning to achieve what it set out to do. Launched in 2024, it struggled to compete in a year absolutely stacked with some of the best survival games . Against Palworld, Enshrouded, Once Human, The Planet Crafter, Sons of the Forest 1.0, and fresh updates for established stalwarts like Valheim and Rust, Nightingale's beautiful visuals weren't enough to compensate for a lack of depth. Yet a year and a half later, its Steam reviews are finally sitting in the blue, and now there's yet another reason to check in. Read the rest of the story...

- Gorgeous fantasy survival crafter Nightingale is yours for free, if you're fast - 2 October 2025
It's not too surprising that Nightingale struggled to stand out in 2024, a year absolutely stacked with some of the best survival games in years. From Palworld and Enshrouded to Once Human, The Planet Crafter, Soulmask, and even Sons of the Forest 1.0, there was some serious competiton. It certainly didn't help that, while Inflexion Games built a truly gorgeous world, it felt rather empty and devoid of focus in the early months. Nightingale has come a long way since then, however, introducing a story-driven campaign, ramping up its base-building tools, and opening the gates to its titular city - and now you can grab it for free, thanks to the Epic Games Store.

- Nightingale June Update - 13 June 2025
Realmwalkers,It’s been a few months since our Nightingale City update and we wanted to take a moment to step back and share where things stand, not just with Nightingale but with some of the broader work going on at Inflexion. More than anything, we want to share how we’re approaching the road ahead.A lot of our recent work has focused on long-term planning for Inflexion. That of course includes Nightingale, but also other projects we’re exploring as a studio. It’s not always the most visible kind of work, but it’s important, especially now given the realities of today’s games industry. Taking the time to plan well means we can keep developing the games we love.Reflections on NightingaleNightingale has been at the center of many of those conversations. We care deeply about this game. It’s ambitious and complex, and we’ve poured a lot into it. It hasn’t always been easy, but we believe i…
- New Nightingale demo lets you check in on the revitalized fantasy survival game - 22 March 2025
It's been a long road for Nightingale , but it feels like momentum is finally in its favor. The early access survival game landed to a decidedly frosty reception in February 2024, with its beautiful world design marred by underwhelming combat, a lack of direction, and restrictive building caps. Developer Inflexion Games has made a lot of changes since then, however, with the transformative 'Realms Rebuilt' update followed by major crafting, customization, and build mode improvements. Most recently, it opened the doors to Nightingale City and another tier of endgame gear options. Now, it invites anyone who might be curious to try the game for free with a limited-time demo and offers a serious discount if you like it. Read the rest of the story...
