Evaluation

Kiln launched on April 23, 2026, and has received consistent post-launch support since day one. At launch, Double Fine published a Spring 2026 roadmap committing to pottery decoration packs, new maps, and additional features throughout 2026. The June 3, 2026 patch notes explicitly reference a named upcoming update — "Mission Criti-Bowl" — as part of that roadmap, and note that an updated roadmap was being prepared. A new map, Hades' Pawn Shop, shipped on May 7, 2026. Five cosmetic DLC packs were released between April 23 and June 19, 2026. Multiple feature patches improved gameplay, matchmaking, bot behavior, and UI through July 2, 2026. The most recent developer communication, on July 30, 2026, is a targeted save-data fix. In it, Double Fine acknowledges the team is "taking some time to regroup" but explicitly states: "we will let you know more news about Kiln as soon as we're able to." This confirms the developer remains engaged with the game and has further news planned — consistent with the still-outstanding roadmap commitment to content through the rest of 2026, including the as-yet-undelivered "Mission Criti-Bowl" summer update.

About this game

Kiln is a pottery power-fantasy that celebrates both Creativity and Destruction: the pleasure that comes from both making beautiful things, and then smashing those things to smithereens. Create your pot, grab your friends, and join a team of colorful spirits who face off against one another in online arenas, where the ceramic creations you sculpt on a pottery wheel become the bodies you bring into battle.

The shape of your pots affect your attributes and your play-style. Will you be big, or small? Wide, or tall? Will you make a plate, a jug, a cup or a bowl?

There are a multitude of different sizes and combinations to discover, each with unique abilities and attacks, along with new and surprising ways to play. Work together to find the best combination of pots and play-styles to break through enemy lines, and collect enough water to douse the flames of the enemy’s kiln — Does your team have what it takes to shape and smash your way to victory? As the battlefield becomes strewn with the shattered fragments of friend and foes alike, your brawling skills and some great teamwork will be required to assure victory.

Become a Master Potter – Manipulate realistic clay to craft and decorate in an immersive pottery wheel experience featuring a variety of tools and techniques.

After the battle is won, head to The Wedge to practice your pottery prowess, decorate your pots to make them yours, then share your creations with others (and admire their handiwork, too).

Create and Destroy Together! Making pots and breaking pots are both better with friends. Hang out, experiment with clay and share what you make, or jump right into multiplayer battles and start swinging!
