Heigh-ho!
Pineleaf Studio today announced an early access launch date of October 22nd forDwarfHeim, the intriguing cooperative RTS where players take on different roles. You’ll need someone in charge of your army, naturally, though you’ll need a town to support that army, but how will you build a town without miners? Division of labour is the answer, splitting tasks across players who’ll need to work together if any of this plan is to work. You’ll be able to try this for yourself in a new multiplayer demo as part of PAX X EGX,the giant virtual games event starting today.
A new trailer today shows more off DwarfHeim’s modes:

Our Nate has been taken with DwarfHeim since he first saw it, and especiallyafter he played itwith some of the developers.
“There’s an overworld player who does things like farming, woodcutting and basebuilding, an underworld player who mines ores and processes them into resources via a sort ofFactorio-lite production line mechanic, and a military player who takes care of defending both players, and attacking the enemy,” Nate explained in June.
You can try it yourself, as a DwarfHeim demo will be available throughthe virtual PAX X EGX booth of publishers Merge Gamesfrom later today. This is the first public demo with the PvE Survival mode, where you and two pals have to hold out against endless waves of enemies.
Also as part of PAX X EGX, Nate will be playing with developers again on Sunday the 20th - this timeon stream for all to see.
DwarfHeim is comingto Steam Early Accesson the 22nd of October, with a plan to launch full and finished in summer 2021. Neatly, a’Friend-Pass' featurewill let you invite pals who haven’t bought the game to play with you.
