Coral Island 1.0 FAQ
1.0 Launch date
Coral Island will launch into Version 1.0 on November 14, 2023!
1.0 Launch Platforms
At 1.0, Coral Island will be available on Steam/Win10, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5.
Coral Island is targeting a 2024 launch for Nintendo Switch. We need more time to ensure the playing experience is as best as possible. If you would like to play v1.0 at launch, we can facilitate a change from a Switch key to a Steam key. Key changes between consoles are not feasible. Any changes need to be confirmed by November 1st. Please send an email titled “Request to exchange to a Steam key” to support@stairwaygames.com so we can assist you with this change.
1.0 Game Content
Coral Island v1.0 features a questline to revitalize the town, introducing more content and exciting new features unavailable in the Early Access versions. Here is the list of things you’ll be able to do in this version of the game:
- Storyline to revitalize the town. - In-depth interactions with NPCs, including heart events and dynamic dialogue. - Marriage and the ability to start a family. - NPC outfits for Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter (most NPCs). - Bathing outfits (select NPCs). - Customization options for your house's exterior. - Over 200 décor options to choose from! - Over 200 clothing options to choose from! - Adopt a pet. - A total of eight unique festivals each filled with mini-games. - Access to all diving depths (10m/20m/30m/40m/50m). - Access to all mining gates (Earth/Water/Wind/Fire). - The chance to acquire a mythical pet. - Encounter Merfolk NPCs and explore their Kingdom. - And much more!
1.0 Price Adjustment
The suggested retail price of Coral Island will increase to $29.99 USD upon the release of v1.0 to reflect the breadth of content the game will offer.
Early Access Save Reset
Version 1.0 of Coral Island is a significantly different game from what it was at the start of Early Access a year ago, and we’ve made fundamental changes to the content, features, and so much more as a result of Early Access players’ feedback. Because of the scope of these changes, save games created during Early Access will not be compatible with v1.0 of Coral Island.
When you move on to v1.0, players will retain all of the gold you earned during Early Access, which will carry over into the new "New Game Plus” mode (see below). Any cosmetic charity DLC packs you purchased will be able to be reclaimed in Version 1.0, too. Once v1.0 arrives, save games will be compatible with all future updates going forward.
Please note, if a new game is started in v1.0 that overwrites the old save, players will be unable to import gold. Gold will only be imported when reloading the old save and resetting the save.
We appreciate all of the hard work and effort you’ve put into shaping Coral Island—both in building your own in-game islands, and helping us bring v1.0 of the game to life—and we hope you’ll enjoy embarking on a new journey, and experiencing Coral Island in a new way, with the official launch.
Early Access Testing Branch
For Steam players who’d like to check in on the farms they created during Early Access, a pre-v1.0 test branch of the game in its final Early Access state will be available on Steam until February 1, 2024. To access it, follow these steps:
Right-click Coral Island in the left menu of your Steam Library, then select “Properties” from the contextual menu.
In the new window that appears, click the “Betas” menu, enter the password “EarlyAccess” in the field under “Private Betas”, and click “Check code”.
If entered properly, you will now be able to select “Coral Island - Early Access Testing branch” from the drop-down menu above, next to “Beta Participation”. Doing so will install the Early Access Testing version and replace the main version of Coral Island.
There, you’ll be able to continue playing your Early Access farms until February 1, though please note that we won’t be updating this version of the game, and that you will have to select the main version of Coral Island from this same menu to play the v1.0 and up.
Warning: If a new save is created in v1.0 that overwrites the old save, that save can no longer be played on the Early Access Testing branch.
New Game Plus
By continuing with your Early Access save, you will initiate "New Game Plus." This means your character will start anew from the beginning of the game, with everything except your gold resetting.
1.0 Language Support
Coral Island will support the following languages in its 1.0 version:
English
Bahasa Indonesia
Simplified Chinese
German
Spanish
French
Japanese
Korean (New!)
Brazilian Portuguese (New!)
2024 Roadmap
Take a look at the exciting content we have planned for 2024. Coral Island is only going to get better from 1.0 onwards!
Kickstarter Rewards
All Kickstarter rewards, except for the "Character Designer Pack" and “Digital Artbook” will be distributed to Steam users no later than the 1.0 update. Keep an eye out for further details!
KS Console Backers
Key Codes for Kickstarter Console Backers for PS5 and Xbox X and S will be delivered together with the 1.0 launch on November 14th, 2023 via Backerkit. There will be an email from backerkit where you can claim your Console Game code. Please follow the instructions below to redeem:
We want to send a big thank you to our awesome backers and the amazing community that's been with us for the past four years of Coral Island's development. Your support, feedback, and all-around enthusiasm have been instrumental in making Coral Island as good as it can be. A special shout-out to the beta testers who've been instrumental in finding bugs and submitting feedback; you've really helped shape the game. You all rock!
