Darkhaven Launches $500,000 Kickstarter and Raw Pre-Alpha Demo From Diablo Veterans

Moon Beast seeks to accelerate development toward a Q4 2026 Early Access target by putting an unfiltered build in players' hands.

Overview

  • The crowdfunding drive is seeking $500,000 to speed progress toward Early Access in Q4 2026, with funds aimed at more classes, enemies, NPCs, and biomes.
  • A free pre-alpha demo on Steam offers several hours of play and lets the Witch class reach level 8 across three skill trees.
  • The build is intentionally rough for feedback, and the studio cautions that online play may be unstable with possible downtime.
  • Play options include solo, co-op, and PvP-enabled realms inside persistent online settings that track world changes.
  • Backer tiers start at $25 with a Steam Early Access key and other perks, and the campaign currently lists no stretch goals.
