Overview
- Revealed as the surprise announcement at Xbox Developer Direct, Kiln is an online multiplayer brawler centered on crafting clay vessels.
- Players choose from three weight classes and eight shapes that determine movement, capacity, and roughly 24 unique special attacks.
- The primary 4v4 mode, Quench, has teams carrying water in their pots to douse the opposing kiln, with capacity trade-offs impacting speed and survivability.
- Between matches, The Wedge serves as a social hub for customization, minigames, and an in-game store that uses credits earned through play.
- The game targets a spring 2026 release on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC with day-one availability on Xbox Game Pass, and a closed beta is planned with details to come.
