Overthrown announced the release of Version 1.0, which will be available on October 16. Developed by Brimstone and published by Maximum Entertainment, Overthrown is a game that promises exciting combat with relaxing moments, reminiscent of the ever-popular Stardew Valley.
Released in 2016, Stardew Valley inspired other games with its captivating formula of exploration, farming, and building. One of these games is Overthrown, which turns players into a monarch with a magical crown who establishes their kingdom in a dangerous land. They must collect resources, survive the seasons, cultivate the land, build, and manage the kingdom. As it grows, players must ensure that their citizens remain happy and protect the land from attacks by mutants and bandits. Now, after a long period in early access, Overthrown will soon receive important changes.

Overthrown Releases Major Update and PlayStation 5 Version on October 16
Overthrown will be fully released on Thursday, October 16. Simultaneously, Version 1.0, named the Airship Update, will be released, introducing aerial exploration to the farm simulator game. With this patch, players will be able to create their own airship and use it to attack enemy camps, which will have their own airships. To help players defend themselves, a cannon tower will be added, a structure that, unlike the mortar, can attack airships and infantry. Overthrown Version 1.0 will also add three new outlaws with different roles and three new levels based on specific ecosystems. Additionally, if the Snappers live long enough, they will transform into a new creature called the Devourer.

- And more
In addition to the release of Version 1.0 of Overthrown for PC and Xbox Series X/S, the game will be available for the first time on PlayStation 5, with Sony console players also able to check out the Airship Update. This will be an important moment for Overthrown, which was announced in July 2024 and, after appearing at Gamescom, got a playable demo during the Steam Next Fest in October of the same year. In December 2024, Overthrown was released for Xbox Game Pass and arrived on PC via Steam Early Access.
The Airship Update is the fourth major set of changes that Overthrown has received in 2025. Previously, the Livestock, Nature, and Coastal updates dropped in January, March, and August, respectively. They introduced key features to this Stardew Valley-style 3D farm sim, including fire, fishing boats, and an overhauled user interface. While the Airship Update had its main features revealed by the developers, they promise that the patch will bring even more to players.

WHERE TO PLAY
Lift and throw anything as you build and manage your kingdom in this chaotic city builder for 1-6 players. Harness the power of your soul-stealing crown to defend your citizens from bandits and mutants, farm the land, and gather resources. Keep citizens happy or see them desert you for the outlaws!
You play as a Monarch in possession of an ancient soul-stealing crown with magical abilities. With its power, establish a kingdom in a perilous wilderness and defend it from mutants and bandits roaming the land.
Build, gather resources, farm the land and more to turn your fledgling realm into a commanding, self-sustaining kingdom. As your fame grows, more will flock to your banner – but so will those who have come to overthrow you, including your friends in up to six-player co-op.
BUILD ANYWHERE
Construct a kingdom from scratch and transform the wilderness into a developed community. Decide which buildings go where, and then manage your citizens to automate everything from there! Don’t like where you placed something? Just pick it up and toss it somewhere else!
LIFT ANYTHING
Throw whole trees at the sawmill to make planks or run through the forest carrying your sawmill to absorb trees along the way! Resource gathering is fun and easy thanks to your crown’s power. Or maybe you have too many enemies around. Pick up monster nests and place them near bandit camps to have them fight each other instead (and obtain free loot!).
FIGHT LIKE AN ANIME PROTAGONIST
Villagers being eaten by mutants? Run across a lake at 100 km/h to rescue them in time! Being shot at by outlaws up in the hills? Spin-attack so fast that you take off like a helicopter and descend on them from the skies!
SURVIVE THE SEASONS
Manage resources and stockpile enough food to last the winter. Guard your farmlands (and peasants) from hungry mutants while waiting for your crops to grow. Keep polluting workshops away or see the land turn barren. Ultimately, keep your people happy or see them desert you for the outlaws.
PLAY WITH YOUR FRIENDS
Overthrown can be played offline in single player, or with a group of up to six friends in online co-op!
