Ex Sanguis Releasing on Steam Early Access in May

Developer Lightbulb Crew and publisher Firesquid announced that Ex Sanguis will release on Steam Early Access on May 21, 2026. The strategy roguelite is expected to spend at least six months in Early Access before fully releasing on PC. The initial version is expected to include several hours of content and its core gameplay systems. In addition, a new playtest is planned to run from April 16 to 23, 2026, with those interested in participating able to request access on Steam.

Ex Sanguis is set in a dying world drained by the Purge and the forces of Stasis, featuring a greyscale and red visual style similar to the studio’s previous title Othercide. Players control a group of elite warriors known as Stillae, attempting to restore the flow of life. During each run, players can choose to take on high-risk missions for greater rewards, leap straight into boss fights, or spend time gathering resources. As they progress through procedural levels, players obtain random skill drops and earn overall progress even if they fall.
