• Free Anime Portrait Pack DLC Out Now! - 23 September 2026

  Hello future Adventurers and current Guildmembers!Around Journeybound Idle's launch in early August 2026, one of our wonderful community members asked me if I would consider adding a DLC pack of anime-themed portraits. Given that the theme of the game is isekai related and about starting out in a new world, I agreed that it was a great idea. I promised I would release a complete alternative art set this year. This release is a follow up on that promise!The Anime-Inspired Portrait PackThis is a complete set of 98 portraits, replacing every Character, NPC, Boss, and Entity in game that has their own portrait for questing, dialogue, or combat.The set is fully opt-in. You can go to the Settings panel after loading your character anytime, to enable or disable the Portrait Pack.How to turn it onClick Download on the DLC store page to add the pack to your account.Start Journeybound Idle, or cl…

• Journeybound Idle 2.0 Sneak Peek! (Spoilers) - 15 September 2026

  Hello future Adventurers and current Guildmembers!I've been hard at work on 2.0, putting in some very long nights to come up with some fun new ideas and a massive content patch for Journeybound. 2.0 is going to be a free update, despite being a truly DLC-sized update. It will be releasing later this year, with quite a lot more to do in the game! Currently, a 100% Completionist run takes about 800 to 1,200 hours for all achievements, completing the Collection Log, hitting Rank-S, and reaching 25 million experience in every skill. 2.0's content will unlock once you reach 25M all, adding several hundred more hours of fresh content! Just some of the new things coming are listed below:S+ Ranking! The new highest rank is now going to be S+, called "Ascended". The prior level 99 cap is going to raise to 150 once you reach this point of the game.Every Skill with an Ascension Twist! No skill wil…

• Two-Week Sale, What Comes Next in 2.0, & Patch Notes! - 13 September 2026

  Hello future Adventurers and current Guildmembers!Journeybound Idle's One Month Anniversary Sale starts today at 10AM CST! The sale will last for two weeks, from September 13th until September 27th. There is no better time to join the Guild, and get into the game! Over a thousand unique players have embarked on their journey in the first month since release, so thank you to each and every one of you! By the end of the year, the game will see a major 2.0 update, releasing a large content patch with a new endgame, requiring 25M XP in all skills to unlock. Given that a 100% Completionist run has been taking players between 800-1,200 hours on average, you still have plenty of time to join and prepare for 2.0! As always, Journeybound Idle is a one-time purchase. 2.0 is large enough that most games would treat it as a paid expansion. I promised that your purchase will always include the full,…

• Journeybound Idle Releases August 7th! - 21 July 2026

  Journeybound Idle launches soon! The guild doors open on August 7th, 2026. You arrive in a new world with nothing but your name and a guild card. What happens next is up to you!For those who have not read my message on the store page, I'm Nick, the solo developer of Journeybound. I've worked on this game for so many hours that I almost don't want to think about it, but I'm also very happy with how it turned out. It's my first game, but I've put a lot of care into making sure it is as bug free and polished as possible. I think I may have set a record for the most QoL ever put into an idle game (the desktop widget was a real battle to get working how I wanted it). I sincerely hope you enjoy the game as much as I enjoyed making it. I'll be launching the game at $12.99, with a 15% discount down to about eleven dollars. I hope you find that fair for a game that should last you quite a long t…
