When does Dwarf Fortress release on Steam?

Dwarf Fortress is set to release on Dec. 6, according to the game’s official page on Steam. This means that players will finally be able to take on the role of their own dwarf colony in one of the most intricate worlds in gaming. Even better, the project is expected to keep growing since the Steam page says there’s “no end in sight.”

Players shouldn’t expect it to be easy, though. This world will not be forgiving of players who make mistakes or otherwise don’t think about their actions. Your inhabitants will have to fight off different opposing forces like starvation, dragons, and madness. This game is meant to be “simulating all of existence” and the developers only believe they’re about 44 percent done.
