- When does Dungeon Settlers release?
- Dungeon Settlers enters Early Access on September 4, 2026 at 08:00 UTC. The date was moved forward from the originally announced September 10, 2026. Release date and launch time →
- Is Dungeon Settlers multiplayer or co-op?
- No. It is single-player only. The Steam listing tags it as Single-player, Steam Cloud and Family Sharing, with no multiplayer or co-op tag. The party of up to four settlers is controlled entirely by you. Why people ask, and what could change →
- Is there a demo?
- Yes. A demo was available to download from the Steam page when it was checked on 2026-09-01. A demo build is not the same as the Early Access build, so treat any numbers you learn in it as provisional.
- Does Dungeon Settlers run on Mac?
- Yes. The published minimum specification covers Windows 10 or newer, and macOS 11 Big Sur or newer on both Intel and Apple Silicon. Both need 4 GB of RAM and 2 GB of storage. Full system requirements →
- What languages does it support?
- The store lists 10 languages: English, French, German, Russian, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, Spanish (Spain), Portuguese (Brazil). Localisation is one of the areas the developer plans to improve during Early Access.
- Will there be mod support?
- It is planned. The developer lists modding support with Steam Workshop integration among the things intended to arrive during Early Access. It is not available at launch and no date has been given.
- How long will Early Access last?
- The developer estimates approximately 2 years, and says the timeframe may change with development progress and community feedback.
- Will the price go up after Early Access?
- The developer has said they plan to raise the price when the game leaves Early Access and reaches full release, to reflect the added content and quality. No figures have been published for either price.
- Do settlers die permanently?
- Yes. Permadeath is part of the design: settlers lost on an expedition are gone, along with the skills they had trained. That is why preparation before a run matters more than it looks. Plan a run before you commit →
- Who makes Dungeon Settlers?
- It is developed by CanOpener and published by CanOpener and WhisperGames.
- Is this site official?
- DungeonSettlers.help is an independent fan-made resource and is not affiliated with or endorsed by CanOpener or WhisperGames. Dungeon Settlers and related names and assets belong to their respective owners. About this site and its data policy →
