Release Date 09.06.2026
Hello, Cultivators!
As we approach our Founders Pack pre-sale on June 15th and our upcoming launch on July 21st, we want to pull back the curtain on a major milestone for our team: SEED is officially launching into Early Access.
When we first set out to build SEED, we knew we weren't making a typical simulation. We wanted to build a 24/7 persistent simulation where every law, every market price, and every town is authored entirely by you, the players.
But here is the honest truth about a game driven entirely by human interaction: we can’t build a society without the people.
What Early Access Means to Us
To us, Early Access isn't just a release window; it’s a collaboration.
A simulation as complex as SEED needs to be stress-tested by thousands of real minds. We need players pushing the boundaries of our political systems, experimenting with the economy, and building communities in ways we never could have predicted in a closed environment.
Your feedback will directly shape our development priorities, and your initial colonies will lay the literal foundation for Avesta’s history.
The Roadmap and the Timeline
Because we are prioritizing depth, stability, and player experience over a rushed deadline, we do not have a fixed end date for Early Access.
Instead of a countdown clock, we are giving you a Living Roadmap. We will be completely transparent about what features, optimizations, and content drops are coming next, letting our milestones dictate when SEED is ready for its official 1.0 launch.
SEED Closed Beta will end on July 16th, and the current Closed Beta societies will be wiped. All pollen purchased in Closed Beta will be added to your account in Early Access!
Where You’ll Play (and Steam Later This Year!)
At launch on July 21st, SEED will be accessed using our custom SEED Launcher.
However, we know many of you love having your library in one place. We are already laying the groundwork to bring SEED to Steam later this year. If you back us on our launcher now, your accounts, characters, and progress will carry right along with us when we expand to Steam.
Become a Founder on June 15th
To support the game's ongoing development and claim your stake in Avesta, our Founder’s Packs officially go on sale next week. These packs are designed to give you the perfect start in the simulation while permanently recognizing your role in bringing SEED to life. There will be a limited amount of 10,000 Founder Packs!
Every Founder’s Pack comes packed with exclusive perks:
1 Seedling & an Additional Seedling Slot to expand your presence in the world.
The Founder Pack Clothing Bundle to show off your day-one status.
Specialist Founder Role & Access to Founder-Only Channels on our official Discord, giving you a direct line to the development process.
Your Name in the Game Credits, cementing your legacy as one of the architects of our world.
Pollen to help you start in Avesta
A Massive Thank You to Our Beta Testers
Finally, we want to look backward for a moment to thank the players who have already given so much of their time to help us get here.
To honor our most dedicated Closed Beta players, we have a special surprise: If you logged 25 hours or more during our Closed Beta, you have earned a free license to the Early Access version of SEED.
Your base game access is on us. You’ll receive an email closer to launch with instructions for claiming your license via the SEED Website. If you still want to pick up the exclusive cosmetics, bonus character slot, and Discord perks from the Founder's Packs, you can absolutely still purchase a bundle to upgrade your account on June 15th!
The journey begins on June 15th with our Founders Pack pre-sale, and the gates to Avesta open wide on July 21st. Thank you for believing in this world, Cultivators. Let's build a society together.
– The SEED Team
