Ghost Keeper Exits Early Access on 16 July 2026 with New Map and Wide Fixes
After an Early Access period the developer describes as marked by "countless improvements" and community feedback, Ghost Keeper has a firm release date: 16 July 2026 at 17:00 UTC (19:00 CEST / 10:00 PST). The price of the game will remain unchanged at launch, though a discount is also planned for release day.
The 1.0 announcement arrives alongside a patch that covers a notable breadth of content.
