BitCraft Online launches 1.0 on November 13 with a fresh world and $15.99 price

Clockwork Labs says BitCraft Online will leave Early Access and launch version 1.0 on Friday, November 13, 2026. The new 1.0 world opens that day at 10am ET, giving everyone a fresh start in what the studio is treating as the game’s first permanent launch world.

The current Early Access 2 world isn’t being wiped. It’ll stay available, and both new and existing players can choose either world, with separate characters on each. On the 1.0 world, everyone starts from zero. Player names and previously purchased cosmetics are the main things carrying over.

BitCraft will also remain buy-to-play instead of switching to free-to-play at launch. Clockwork Labs says the decision is partly about limiting ban evasion, griefing, spam, and real-money trading. The price stays at $15.99, with a 25% launch discount planned for the first week. The studio says it’s still looking into a possible free trial later.

Players who were active in Early Access 2 will have their previous name reserved on the new world for at least three months, as long as they use the same account. Early Access “Reawakened” titles earned before the 1.0 world opens will also be granted on the new character, though they may take time to appear. Those titles, along with the “Early Awakened” title for Early Access buyers, won’t be obtainable by new purchasers after launch.

After 1.0, Clockwork Labs plans to slow its update cadence from roughly every two weeks to about once a month, with smaller fixes still possible in between. The studio says a roadmap will be shared on November 13 outlining what’s planned for the months after launch.
