Welcome to Elderfield Release Date — Launch, Price, Platforms and Full-Release Status

The Welcome to Elderfield release date was 10 September 2026. It launched as a finished game rather than in Early Access, at $17.99 on Windows, from developer Chris Cote and publisher Kwalee. That is the whole official picture: Steam marks the release complete, no console version is listed, and the earlier roadmap talk of a possible Early Access period was overtaken by the full launch.

Release Date, Price and Platforms

The Steam store page lists Sep 10, 2026 with the game no longer flagged as coming soon, and the Keymailer listing shows the same 10 September 2026 date. The Steam API reports Windows only, with macOS and Linux set to false, and a US price of $17.99 with no discount applied at launch.

What the Store Listing Confirms

Beyond the date, the listing fills in the shape of the release. It is a single-player game with 51 achievements, full controller support including DualShock and DualSense, Steam Cloud, Family Sharing, adjustable difficulty, subtitle and colour-alternative options, and a playable-at-your-own-pace category. The genres are Adventure, Casual, Indie, RPG, Simulation and Strategy, and the store description calls it a cozy horror RPG with hand-drawn art and a dark lofi soundtrack composed by Dated.

Console and Full-Release Questions

Console ports are the biggest open question. Neither the Steam page nor the Keymailer listing references a PS5, Xbox or Switch version, so those dates are not documented yet. For players searching for a full release date, the answer is that it already happened: the September 2026 launch was the full version, not an Early Access milestone, which is why the older February 2025 thread describing a late-2026 plan reads as history rather than a live roadmap.

• No console release date announced in any official source.

• No Early Access period — the game shipped complete.

• The February 2025 roadmap post is superseded by the September 2026 launch.

• A post-launch roadmap is not documented yet.

• 10 September 2026 is the confirmed launch date across both official sources.

• $17.99 with no launch discount is the US Steam price.

• Windows is the only platform with a store listing.

• 51 Steam achievements shipped with the release.

• No console version, and no post-launch roadmap, is documented yet.
