Caves of Qud Exits Early Access After 15 Years of Development

The science-fantasy roguelike RPG launches version 1.0, introducing a climactic final quest, new features, and enhanced accessibility.

Caves of Qud, a science-fantasy RPG developed by Freehold Games, has officially launched version 1.0 after 15 years in early access.
The game introduces a final quest that concludes the main storyline, alongside new music, sound effects, achievements, and quality-of-life updates.
The 1.0 release builds on prior updates, including a comprehensive tutorial, improved UI, and two gameplay modes—'Roleplay' and 'Wander'—to accommodate different playstyles.
Set in a richly simulated post-post-apocalyptic world, players explore procedurally generated environments filled with mutants, ancient ruins, and reality-warping technology.
Praised for its storytelling, world-building, and player freedom, Caves of Qud is now available for $29.99 on Steam, Itch.io, and GOG.
