Diablo Veterans Reveal Darkhaven, Launch Steam Page and Kickstarter Ahead of Demo

The new ARPG from Moon Beast targets Early Access with community backing.

Overview

  • Moon Beast Productions, founded by Philip Shenk, Peter Hu, and Erich Schaefer, announced Darkhaven, a dark-fantasy isometric action RPG.
  • The game features a procedurally generated, persistent world with deformable and buildable terrain, seasonal changes, dynamic weather, and lasting world events.
  • Combat emphasizes player skill alongside progression, with traversal that includes jumping, climbing, swimming, dashing, and free exploration.
  • Developers promise "bold, expressive loot" inspired by classic Diablo itemization, aiming to reshape builds rather than offer small stat bumps.
  • A Steam page is live and a Kickstarter campaign page has been posted to support a push to Early Access, with a playable demo planned to launch alongside the fundraiser and, per the official Discord, likely before February 23.
