Fans of city-building and survival strategy games have something to look forward to this March. Developer Foxy Voxel has officially confirmed that Going Medieval, the medieval colony simulator known for its strong Early Access community, will release its full 1.0 version next month.
Originally launched in Early Access in June 2021, the game quickly became a favorite among players who enjoy complex building systems, survival mechanics, and deep simulation. During its Early Access period, Going Medieval received multiple updates expanding everything from terrain generation and building physics to animal husbandry, trade, and raids.
The 1.0 release, according to the developer, will include the full storyline, new playable modes, and more refined systems that improve the settlement simulation. While specific date details remain under wraps, the March window confirms that the long-running development cycle is reaching a conclusion. This version is expected to bring performance optimizations, UI improvements, and a more complete world experience, shaping it into a definitive city-building strategy title.
For players who’ve followed the project since its inception, the move to 1.0 also represents an end to the “evolving sandbox” phase. In its final state, Going Medieval will deliver Foxy Voxel’s original vision — a detailed medieval reconstruction experience centered around surviving plagues, raids, and harsh winters, with complete freedom to design and defend massive fortresses in full 3D.
The developer also noted that post-launch support will continue, hinting at potential content expansions and community events after release. With the full version nearly here, Going Medieval is poised to stand alongside other top-tier colony sims, this time offering a finished product crafted through years of active collaboration with players.
The March 2026 release marks the end of an Early Access chapter that lasted close to three years, driven by community testing and steady updates. For long-time supporters and new players alike, Going Medieval 1.0 promises to deliver the most complete version of the game yet — a medieval survival masterpiece finally ready to stand on its own.
