Timberborn is nearing its 1.0 release after four years in early access. The exact launch date is not yet announced, but the update will introduce various enhancements. Key features include constructable spiral staircases, customizable city banners, graphical enhancements with updated skyboxes and light glare effects, and new animations depicting beaver demises. The extensive nature of the update is the reason for the delay in announcing a release date, as it requires heavy testing, which is currently underway. Players can access the experimental 1.0 build with provided instructions.
