Solasta II early access has been pushed to Q1 2026
Tactical Adventures, the studio behind the well-regarded D&D-inspired RPG Solasta: Crown of the Magister, has revealed the early access release window for its sequel has been delayed. Announced during the Galaxies Gaming Showcase, Solasta II is now set to hit Steam Early Access in early 2026, a slight delay from the initial 2025 window.
This sequel marks a significant technical leap for the series, moving away from the Unity engine used in the original to the much more graphically advanced Unreal Engine 5. The visual upgrade is immediately apparent, though this engine switch might come at the cost of the extensive moddability that the first game enjoyed. For those eager to see the new engine in action, a two-hour demo is already available to try on Steam.
Solasta II continues to be based on the Dungeons & Dragons SRD 5.1 ruleset, promising authentic turn-based tactical combat. The story sees players venturing to the distant continent of Neokos to confront a mysterious new threat, Shadwyn, voiced by Amelia Tyler, the narrator of Baldur’s Gate 3.
Beyond the tactical battles, this sequel introduces a new way to explore its world. Tactical Adventures has confirmed that Solasta II will feature a freely explorable overworld map, allowing players to discover the continent of Neokos at their own pace. More details on this new system will be shared during a special Community Stream scheduled for Tuesday, October 28th, where the developers will showcase the map and answer fan questions.

KitGuru says: While the brief delay might be disappointing for some, the move to Unreal Engine 5 and the promise of a more open world make Solasta II an exciting prospect for fans of tactical RPGs.
