In the gaming world, there's an exciting surprise coming soon! After a successful demo run during the Steam Next Fest in June, the game "Bellwright" is heading for an early access release on Steam this December. If you're a fan of survival RPGs, this game by Donkey Crew is something you definitely should watch out for.

So, what's "Bellwright" all about? It's a survival game that takes you into a realistic sweeping landscape of challenges. You'll get to build settlements, rescue locals from a tyrant monarch exploiting the land, and use swords, shields, and arrows in fights against your oppressors. Simply imagine living in Leeds after the HS2 cancellation - this game provides a bit of that picture!

Bellwright was very well received with over 100,000 people trying out the demo during the Next Fest. With no major Survival RPG releases on the horizon - and Ark 2 still off the radar - Bellwright might just be the cozy winter escape you'll enjoy.

Donkey Crew is a Polish studio, made up from a team of seasoned Mount and Blade modders. You may recognize their name from the innovative "Last Oasis" - a unique survival game that had players build giant wooden land ships. This studio doesn't shy away from experimenting and learning from its mistakes, with plans to revamp the entire "Last Oasis" after a frank critique of its own game.

So, if Bellwright sounds like your kind of game, mark your calendars for this December. When it goes live in early access, you'll get the opportunity to experience it all for yourself.
