We know how eager you are to find out what's next for Len's Island. The team have put their heads together to sketch out a rough roadmap of the new content we intend to add to the game within the next 6 months.
We've also taken note of all community feedback across Steam, Discord, YouTube, Twitter, emails, and our website. All of the most noteworthy suggestions and feedback have been integrated into this roadmap and we will continue to update Len's Island alongside the communities ideas. Take a look below for what we've planned for the first half of 2023!
~ Roadmap Update Timeline ~
Currents and Controllers (March - Released)
Combat Improvements
- Improving combat & dungeon crawling throughout the game.

Controller Support
- Basic controller support implemented and improved over the duration of road map.

The plan over the next 12 months is to finish the content of Len's Island, which means finishing acts 4 and 5 of the game, as well as finishing any outstanding features that need to be added. The full-release out of early-access is planned to be 12-18 months from now, which will see all 5 acts released, along with *hopefully* co-op multiplayer being added. Along with an array of various other things.
We will be consistently sharing progress and updates across our socials, but Discord is always the best place to get the most up to date info.
