Rebuild your village, put a stop to antics of Platina, the pop idol Demon King next door
TOKYO — Nov. 13, 2026 —Warota: I Live Next to The Demon King’s Castle LOL, a village-building ARPG from developer Team EARTH WARS and publisher One or Eight INC., is now available on Steam Early Access for $24.99 with a limited-time 10% discount until Friday, Nov. 20 at 6:59 AM PST / 9:59 AM EST.
Being reincarnated as a Bounder has its perks; serving a goddess who gifted you the power of creation is pretty cool! The downside is you live on Luna now, which wouldn’t be so bad if it weren’t trashed by Platina, a party-loving Demon King slash idol extraordinaire with an army of mischievous minions. Roll up those sleeves and turn what’s left of Luna back into an idyllic village. Rebuild the world, enlist allies to your cause, and shut down those demon parties!
Draw on the abilities of different magical hats to adapt to the needs of the village. Specialize in over 20 different classes, including a Farmer, Woodcutter, Warrior, Mage, and more. It takes a village to depose a demonic despot, so lend hats to helpful villagers to grant them class abilities and assign them work, or have them grow their power by joining you on quests.
Enlist new allies to help scavenge for vital resources. Chop down trees, mine ore, or hunt for food to keep the village well-supplied. After a day’s hard work, return with resources to help construct homes, prepare bountiful feasts, and build a thriving community. Every new neighbor is a new ally in your fight against the Demon King!
Get those earplugs ready! Platina throws concerts to rile up her hordes and trash the whole town, featuring popular tracks like “Heartful-ful-ful Bokko” by Maron-san. Stop their mischief with help by earning powerful blessings from Goddess Statues scattered throughout the land. Get the upper hand in the fighting fiesta by stacking different stats like elemental effects, recovery speed, and power. In Early Access, play through the first chapter, defend the home you’ve built, and put an end to the Demon King’s madness!
“Welcome to the comical, mystical world of Luna with our Steam Early Access launch!” said developer Team EARTH WARS. “Pick a hat, select a job, and get to work! We sincerely thank everyone for their support along the way. The first chapter is about 25% of Warota’s content, and we can’t wait to show everyone what’s brewing in development of the 1.0 version, currently scheduled for release in 2027!”
Warota: I Live Next to The Demon King’s Castle LOL is now available on Steam Early Access for $24.99, with a 10% launch discount until Nov. 20, 2026, including language support for Japanese, English, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese.
