Publisher WorldMap and developerTatamibeya have announced a release date for The End of History, their sandbox-style strategy RPG set in a medieval-inspired world.
The End of Historyis set to launch in early access next month, on December 10th for Windows PC (via Steam). A playable demo has been available.
Here’s a rundown on the game, plus its cinematic trailer:
Why We Chose to Release in Early Access
While many players enjoyed the demo, it also helped us identify a number of areas for improvement, such as overall usability and control feel.
After carefully evaluating the situation, we concluded that launching the game in Early Access—where we can continue to refine it step by step based on player feedback—would be the best approach.
The main feedback we received included:
- Requests to improve combat responsiveness and pacing
- Comments on tutorial and UI clarity
- Requests for controller support
- Suggestions for expanding role-playing options and rebalancing
Development Roadmap
Development will proceed in two phases: work leading up to the Early Access release, and updates following its launch.
Work planned before Early Access release:
- Combat controls and pacing improvements: We’re refining combat feel and enemy AI behavior to make battles smoother and more strategic, reducing sources of frustration.
- UI improvements centered on dialogue flow: We’ve revisited the tutorial and eliminated elements that interrupted play, creating a smoother and more intuitive experience.
- Game balance adjustments: We’re reworking mechanics that made the early game disproportionately easy and fine-tuning overall balance.
- New feature additions: We’re adding several systems that were not available in the demo, including:
- Access to Sandbox Mode from the beginning of the game
- A new “Found a Nation” path for independent factions
- Romance interactions with NPCs
Note: Controller support is planned for implementation after the Early Access launch.
Work planned after Early Access release:
- Major UI overhaul: The current interface is designed primarily for mouse input. We plan a large-scale redesign to support controller play and make the UI more intuitive overall.
- Controller support implementation: Controller functionality will be added alongside the UI update.
- Ongoing improvements based on community feedback: Even after launch, we’ll continue refining the game together with the community.
Please note that while controller support is one of the most requested features, it requires careful testing and rework, so implementation will take some additional time.

About Combat
In The End of History, combat emphasizes tactical formation commands and coordinated maneuvers that allow you to flank enemy armies and gain the upper hand.
While many players shared feedback on control feel and pacing during the demo period, we’ve been addressing these issues for the Early Access version to make battles smoother and more enjoyable. We’ll continue to refine combat based on player feedback to deliver an even more polished tactical experience.
