Tavern Keeper: A Decade in the Making, Now Entering Early Access

Greenheart Games, the acclaimed studio behind Game Dev Tycoon, has officially announced that its long-awaited fantasy business simulator, Tavern Keeper, will enter Steam Early Access on November 3rd. This significant milestone, following 11 years of dedicated development, is being celebrated with a brand-new trailer and an updated demo, both available now, just before the October Steam Next Fest.

Drawing inspiration from popular management titles, Tavern Keeper immerses players in the intricate world of running their own fantasy inn. It masterfully blends lighthearted humor with a deep simulation, offering extensive customization options. Players can meticulously design every aspect of their establishment, from vibrant taprooms to serene reading nooks, leveraging detailed decorative elements in the game`s sandbox mode.

Beyond its core management gameplay, Tavern Keeper features a compelling campaign mode, brought to life by the narration of English actor Steven Pacey. This mode challenges players to construct and manage taverns across diverse regions, each presenting unique challenges, distinct fantasy cultures, and engaging storylines.

Players eager to try Tavern Keeper before its Early Access launch can experience the updated demo, which is available now and aligns with the upcoming Steam Next Fest, beginning October 13th. This week-long event traditionally showcases demos for many unreleased titles, providing a perfect opportunity to get a taste of what Tavern Keeper has to offer.
