Skillwood

Skillwood launched its v1.0.0 full release on June 21, 2026, after over two years in Early Access. The developer — a solo indie creator — has been explicit and transparent that this release marks the end of the game's development journey. The June 21, 2026 launch post closes the chapter clearly: the developer states "Let's call this one done," explains that the reason the game is being completed is because they've already started their next project (Soulstack), and thanks the community for helping them reach the finish line. The game now has a proper completion state — a completable run with a meaningful ending — and the v1.0 feature list (Boris the mining companion, prestige world rework, crit skill, speed upgrades, and completion content) aligns exactly with what was previewed in the May 30, 2026 release candidate post. Earlier on April 28, 2026, the developer was candid about scope: no new areas, no major new mechanics, and a goal to "close the chapter honestly rather than keep it in a 'coming soon' state forever." The v1.0 release delivered on exactly that stated scope. The game is free-to-play and the developer has confirmed it will remain free, with no paid DLC or cosmetic monetization planned. There are no unreleased DLC items listed on the store. No future content has been announced or hinted at beyond the 1.0 release itself.
