Rising World

Rising World is a long-running Early Access sandbox game that has maintained a very active update cadence throughout its development. Since the Unity engine rebuild was completed and rolled out to all players, the developer (JIW-Games) has shipped a consistent stream of substantial named updates: Update 0.7 (February 2, 2024), Update 0.7.5 (August 30, 2024), Update 0.8 with seasons (December 17, 2024), Update 0.8.5 with fishing (April 29, 2025), Update 0.9 with Points of Interest (October 31, 2025), Update 0.9.1 with Steam Cloud (December 22, 2025), Update 0.9.2 with animal breeding (April 30, 2026), and the freshest release — Update 0.9.3 with animal feeding and taming, reworked caves, and ocean waves — shipped on August 31, 2026, just one day before today's assessment date. The store page explicitly states "Your purchase entitles you to receive all future updates free of charge," underscoring the developer's continuing commitment. The 0.9.3 update post directly mentions that improved NPC pathfinding and food spoilage are already in progress but didn't make it into this release, confirming that more content is on the way. Development remains active and the game has not announced a 1.0 release date or completion of Early Access.
