Fatal Claw

Fatal Claw, the action game that passed through Kickstarter and then Steam Early Access, has a confirmed 1.0 launch moment: August 26, 2026 at 07:00 UTC.

Developer C2H_SONG credits the milestone to Kickstarter backers, Early Access players, and the feedback — bug reports, suggestions, and playtime — they contributed along the way. Two major Expansion Updates were released during the Early Access period before the team arrived at this final version.

What changes at launch

  • Release time by region: Korea/Japan at 16:00 KST/JST; Central Europe at 09:00 CEST; US Eastern at 03:00 EDT; US Pacific at 00:00 PDT.
  • 20% launch discount applied for two weeks following release, intended for players who held off during Early Access.
  • Regional price adjustments in MENA, SASIA, LATAM, and CIS markets, framed as better reflecting local purchasing conditions; these take effect at the moment of launch.
  • A 1.0 Pre-Release was made available ahead of the official date as a gesture toward Kickstarter backers and existing Early Access players.

For players in the affected regions, the pricing shift may make the 1.0 version noticeably more accessible — and for those anywhere who have been waiting on the sidelines, the two-week discount window opens the moment the version drops.
