Create your pot, grab your friends, and join a team of colorful spirits who face off against one another in online arenas, where the ceramic creations you sculpt on a pottery wheel become the bodies you bring into battle.
Grab your friends to assemble a team of colorful spirits, then sculpt ceramic battle armor on a pottery wheel. The size and shape of your pots determine their play-style and abilities—work together to douse the enemy's kiln!
Kiln is a pottery power-fantasy that celebrates both Creativity and Destruction: the pleasure that comes from both making beautiful things, and then smashing those things to smithereens. Create your pot, grab your friends, and join a team of colorful spirits who face off against one another in online arenas, where the ceramic creations you sculpt on a pottery wheel become the bodies you bring into battle.
The shape of your pots affect your attributes and your play-style. Will you be big, or small? Wide, or tall? Will you make a plate, a jug, a cup or a bowl?
Kiln couldn’t have been possible without the Double Fine Insiders. You’ve really helped us refine and hone this idea and make the experience what it is today. THANK YOU for your time, for being honest and constructive. We’re about to reveal some upcoming cool things, but first I wanted to extend a huge thank you to all of you.
Here’s What We’re Cooking Up
April 23 is just the beginning. We’re launching Kiln with its core game mode, Quench, and shipping with five unique maps:
- Athena’s War Room
- Anubis’ Boat of the Dead
- Hermes’ Package Center
- Dionysus’ Boogie Lounge
- Set’s Basement Mosh Pit
If you’ve already joined us in a previous beta, you’ll see that there are two new maps for you to experience right at launch! This extends to decorations too. In the beta we had a level cap of 15, but at launch you’ll be able to unlock all the way up to level 50, with so many more to unlock and discover.
Every week for the first month after launch we’re bottling up some updates for you! Right after launch in week one, we’ll have a fun Dinosaur Decoration Pack so you can make some really ancient pottery.
Then you can look forward to a hot new map in week two, and even more customization options beyond that. There’s even something for the cat and dog lovers out there.
Once we’re in summer, you can look forward to two new Quench maps, additions to our progression system, Missions, a Pot Journal, and some other secret things. Later this year, we’ll unveil a fully featured Photo Mode and more ways to play.
On top of that, every month you can look forward to fun new cosmetics, so let us know what you really want to see and what you want to decorate your pots with.
There are a multitude of different sizes and combinations to discover, each with unique abilities and attacks, along with new and surprising ways to play. Work together to find the best combination of pots and play-styles to break through enemy lines, and collect enough water to douse the flames of the enemy’s kiln — Does your team have what it takes to shape and smash your way to victory? As the battlefield becomes strewn with the shattered fragments of friend and foes alike, your brawling skills and some great teamwork will be required to assure victory.
After the battle is won, head to The Wedge to practice your pottery prowess, decorate your pots to make them yours, then share your creations with others (and admire their handiwork, too).
Create and Destroy Together - Making pots and breaking pots are both better with friends. Hang out, experiment with clay and share what you make, or jump right into multiplayer battles and start swinging!
Become a Master Potter– Manipulate realistic clay to craft and decorate in an immersive pottery wheel experience featuring a variety of tools and techniques.
Kiln is coming to Xbox Series X|S, Xbox Cloud Gaming/Xbox Play Anywhere/Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Handheld Optimized, PC (Steam) and PS5 on April 23, 2026 at $19.99.
