- Thank you all for an amazing 2025, and I wish you a great 2026! - 1 January 2026
2025 was a wonderful year. Back in February, I had the idea for a game where you play as a big Troll — the boss instead of the hero. I started developing it, learned an incredible amount along the way, and launched it in Early Access on November 30th.In just one month since then, I’ve shipped tons of improvements, along with new skills, power-ups, and enemies — and this is only the beginning.2026 promises a lot. I’m entering this new year full of ideas and exciting plans already lined up in the game’s backlog.Thank you all for making 2025 so special, and I wish you an amazing 2026.My best, Dan Solo developer of The Beast Is Yet To Come
