Stardock Entertainment revealed this morning that they will release Elemental: Reforged into Early Access first, as the title arrives next week. As you may recall, this is a remaster of the original Elemental, where they have gone above and beyond to produce an all-encompassing edition of the original. Now you'll be able to experience a good chunk of it when they drop it onto Steam on October 23, 2025. That said, there's no info on when the full game will be released, so we're assuming they're aiming for 2026 with that.
