Soulmask's 'Shifting Sands' DLC and Full Game Release Set for Spring 2026

Initially revealed in 2024, the survival crafting title Soulmask is generating significant buzz with its ancient Egyptian-themed expansion, 'Shifting Sands.' Following its initial announcement at the PC Gaming Show Tokyo Direct earlier this year, a new trailer debuted during the PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted, providing a definitive release timeline. Both the comprehensive game, currently accessible in early access, and its eagerly awaited downloadable content are slated for launch in spring 2026.

The recently unveiled two-minute 'Shifting Sands' trailer offers a captivating glimpse into an ancient realm, resplendent with shimmering glyphs, graceful flocks of cranes, and an array of distinctive player-designed conveyances. The game promises unparalleled architectural freedom, allowing players to construct everything from rudimentary reed river vessels to grand, elaborate sky-faring Solar Barque carriers adorned with colossal obelisks. The primary objective is to reassemble fragmented artifacts from a divine cataclysm, culminating in the construction of a celestial metropolis and the revitalization of a civilization teetering on the brink of extinction.

Beyond the intricate building mechanics, participants will confront formidable adversaries, including colossal, insatiable canines and monstrous crocodilian beings. Throughout their journey, players will unearth potent masks imbued with the essence of ancient Egyptian gods. Deities such as Sobek, Anubis, Amun-Ra, and Horus will bestow their formidable abilities upon those who discover their relics, adding a rich layer of mystical power to the gameplay experience.

The early access iteration of Soulmask is currently available on Steam, offering a preliminary taste of the game's immersive world. For those eager to delve deeper into its mysteries and challenges, the full release and the 'Shifting Sands' expansion are anticipated to arrive in spring 2026. Interested players can add the game to their Steam wishlist to receive ongoing announcements and updates as development progresses.
