Emberville features a star-studded voice cast that includes Abubakar Salim, Matthew Mercer, Jennifer English, Ben Starr, Nick Apostolides, and  more. The game utilizes a pixel art style and features a variety of weapons, skills, and bosses. 

Emberville was originally slated to release in Early Access on Tuesday, October 27. Now, it’ll be one of the first video games to launch in 2027. The Steam Next Fest demo is still available for players itching for a taste of the game.
