'Timberborn' Leaving Early Access, Gets March Release Date - Trailer

by Rainier on Feb. 5, 2026 @ 6:00 a.m. PST

Timberborn is a beaver city-building game featuring ingenious animals, vertical architecture, and river control (with dams and dynamite!).

Humans are gone. Will your society of lumberpunk beavers do better?

Mankind turned Earth into a wasteland and perished, but some species survived and evolved. Choose one of the unique beaver families and see how long your colony can last!

Endure catastrophic droughts thanks to millennia of experience in water engineering. Beavers of the future redirect rivers, put up dams and dig canals with explosives. But be careful, uncontrolled flooding is as deadly as a dynamite blast!

Turn timber into sophisticated machinery, buildings, and monuments. Wood is the core resource in Timberborn, but the most advanced structures require metal. To find it, send your scavengers to the ruins of the old world.

Create a thriving beaver settlement using a modular, vertical architecture system. Here, space isn't infinite, so stack lodges and workshops on top of each other, cover hills with fields, and set up a power grid for your growing population.


Beaver lovers, rejoice!

After four years and across seven major updates, the lumberpunk city-builder Timberborn will launch into 1.0 on March 5, 2026, bringing a host of new content to the indie title.

The 1.0 build is currently available for public testing on the game’s Experimental branch, receiving regular updates and tweaks ahead of the full 1.0 release on March 5th—a date confirmed in a newly shared, lore-focused trailer narrated by industry stalwart Shaun Dooley (Elden Ring, Netflix’s The Witcher).

The new trailer illustrates the barren and deadly world that the beavers of Timberborn call home, and will now serve as an introductory cinematic at the game’s outset. In an environment on the verge of collapse, where the fires of industry have decimated the natural world, some seeds of hope still remain… and only the ingenuity of your brave beavers can help restore what was lost. 

Build a prosperous city with efficient production chains and beaverish nighttime activities. Follow the lives of individually simulated inhabitants throughout their day and celebrate when the next generation is born!

Satisfy the needs of your colonists to extend their lifespan and make them happier. An evolved beaver's lifestyle is not just "work, sleep and chomp on wood". Balanced diet, decorations, temples, even carousels – you take care of it all.

Unlock additional beaver families, each with unique style and traits. While one species might be okay working long shifts, another would rather focus on increasing the population – so choose what fits your playstyle.

Play on one of the included maps or create your own and share it with the community! With green hills of different height, ruins scattered in the desert, and twisting rivers you will build dams on, each map poses a different challenge.

Timberborn is coming to PC (Steam/GOG/Epic Games Store) on March 5, 2026.
