Adventure Mode

Adventure Mode is the RPG campaign mode of Dwarf Fortress, where players can create a character and freely roam the rich simulated world they have made a home in during their Fortress Mode save or start fresh in a newly generated world. The beta branch can be found on Steam if players go to properties and then betas from Dwarf Fortress in their Steam library. Bay 12 previously announced that Adventure Mode would be released in April 2024 during last year's PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted Edition, but game development realities have made it clear that the team will first need to launch into Beta this month, with the full version coming later this year.

Dwarf Fortress

The deepest, most intricate simulation of a world that's ever been created. The legendary Dwarf Fortress is now on Steam. Build a fortress and try to help your dwarves survive against a deeply generated world. Not just generated geometry — a whole simulated world. Generated rise and fall of civilizations, personalities, creatures, cultures, etc. Infinite hours of gameplay. Now, with beautiful pixel graphics! A lifetime "living" project – created/updated since 2003, with no end in sight. Generate your unique world and manage a bustling colony of dwarves, even as they probably mine towards their eventual demise. A new endless hobby, just for you!
