Uncommon Games has officially announced that Animalkind will launch on PC via Steam Early Access on March 30th 2026. The news permiered today as part of The MIX x Kinda Funny Showcase, giving us a new look at the upcoming adventure. Following a warmly received Steam Next Fest demo, which introduced online co-op to thousands of players, Animalkind is now preparing to bring its cosy open-world town-building fun to players in full in just a matter of weeks.
In Animalkind, you’ll step into the paws of adorable animal heroes piloting ancient mechs across a vibrant, post-paw-calyptic wilderness. Whether playing solo or with up to three friends in online co-op, players will gather resources, explore dynamic biomes, recruit charming townsfolk, and build a thriving community from the ground up. Blending relaxing town-building with playful multiplayer chaos, Animalkind offers a world where corgis, cats, and raccoons wield industrial-grade opposable thumbs to shape their future, one mech-powered adventure at a time.
“Our goal with Animalkind has been to create a cozy world where you can play with friends, and launching into Steam Early Access lets players jump into that world now. With the help of our players we will expand the game with new places to explore, characters to meet, and ways to be creative. We can’t wait to grow the game together with our community.” – Brian Guenther, Head of Product at Uncommon Games.
