Mixed Realms have announced that Gordian Quest will be leaving Early Access this month.

Gordian Quest first entered Early Access in March 2020, and will be getting a full release on June 23rd for Windows PC via GOG and Steam.

Gordian Quest is a deckbuilding party-based RPG inspired by classic tabletop games. Players must free the world from a catastrophic curse by building a party of heroes. Each hero has a deck of ability cards that you will customize as they gain more experience and level up. While Gordian Quest does feature roguelite elements such as meta progression and permadeath, there are modes where you can turn off these features and play it more like a traditional RPG. If you missed it, you can find our old preview here.

You can find the new release date trailer below.

Gordian Quest‘s full release will include a massive update that adds the final act of the campaign, a new hero in the form of Stroud the Monk, an endgame called Adventure Mode where you can continue to enhance your party for greater challenges, and controller support. Mixed Realms will also be running a Kickstarter campaign in July to fund a Nintendo Switch port, with PlayStation and Xbox versions as stretch goals.

You can find a rundown (via Steam) below:
