‘Deathground’ Stalks to an Early Access Release Next Month [Trailer]

Jaw Drop Games’ Deathground has had its release window winnowed down even more, with the game now arriving in Steam Early Access in October. Technically, October isn’t in the Q3 2025 release window the team had announced earlier this year, but they’ve been quick to explain things, as well as release a new trailer for the Early Access announcement.

“Our original target release date had been set for a while, but as we moved closer, various factors including the timing of the Steam build approval process and our marketing plans didn’t quite align,” explains the team in a new update. “Given the tight schedule and rather than rush things or launch without the proper visibility and support, we decided it was better to shift the date slightly (only just!) and avoid the Autumn Sale to give the game the launch it deserves.”

With that out of the way, the team will be narrowing things down even more with the Early Access release date being announced later this week in with the official Early Access launch trailer.

And leading up to the eventual launch into Early Access, Jaw Drop Games will be posting a daily Deathground mini-update on the game’s Community Hub. In these mini-updates, the team will pull back the curtain on development progress, showcasing things such as gameplay details, behind-the-scenes, developer interviews and Q&A. Additionally, they’ll also be showing off what’s in store for the future of Deathground with the reveal of the Early Access roadmap.
