EARLY ACCESS TO LAUNCH ON JULY 14TH 2026
Tampere, Finland – June 12, 2026 – Finnish indie studio Bonobo Software and publisher Level Up Gaming have released a brand new trailer for Taival to celebrate two major announcements: a free demo is available now on Steam ahead of Steam Next Fest, and the game will launch on 14th July 2026 on Steam in Early Access.
Taival, meaning “journey” in Finnish, is an online or couch co-op adventure RPG where you and your shapeshifting companion, the Henki, explore a vibrant, blocky open world. Drawing inspiration from Cube World, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and Skyrim, the game continues to attract interest from a global community with over 12,000 wishlists and an active playtesting community of 3000 players.
Players can start their journey today by playing the new demo now, before the game enters Early Access on Steam, July 14th 2026.
About Bonobo Software
Bonobo Software is a Finland-based game studio dedicated to creating worlds players will want to get lost in. Founded in 2022, the studio was born out of the COVID lockdowns and a shared frustration with the severe lack of co-op multiplayer RPGs worth sinking a weekend into. What began as two university students sketching out their dream game on a couch has grown into a dedicated four-person team building Taival, a handcrafted, blocky open-world co-op RPG with a shapeshifting companion at its heart – and quite possibly the only game of its kind.
