Wurm Online Trailer and Launch Time!

Distinguished Wurmians! (existing and future)

Today we are thrilled to announce the launch time of the Northern Freedom Cluster and Wurm Online on Steam!

Wurm Online will become available to play on Steam on the 24th of July, at 19:00 CET.


That's not all! In anticipation of the launch of Wurm Online on Steam, we present the brand new trailer!

When I viewed this, I was astounded at just how magical the world of Wurm truly is. The possibilities and inspiration have me excited to play on the new Northern Freedom Isles too, is anyone looking for a villager?

This trailer was a long project and included many revisions. The brains behind it as always was Malena, who had this to say about it:
We started the process by having many discussions on what exactly we want to embody in this trailer. We not only wanted to show off just how rich and deep Wurm is as a game, but to also showcase just how beautiful and diverse Wurm has become visually over the past couple of years. With the addition of distant trees, the new water system, the rendering engine and of course the brand new volumetric lighting, Wurm has come so very far and has become so breathtakingly beautiful! The first step was to create a rough storyboard in the form of a video. We used that as a base to refine the script and scenes further, and once this was finished, I was ready to start filming footage. To accompany the beautiful footage, Daniel Fryer (who also happens to be my son) was hired to compose a soundtrack for the video. I kid you not, the first time I heard it, I burst into tears because it was so beautiful and made me feel so nostalgic about Wurm! The process of searching for beautiful locations, terraforming + building + decorating the sets, setting up the lighting, deciding on weather and season conditions, dressing and animating the characters, setting up the camera runs and finally editing the video was a labor of love. I sincerely hope that the love and passion for the game radiates through to the very souls of our wurmians and hopefully inspires new players to join our wonderful world as well!


There's more news to come soon with the revised names for the Northern Freedom Isles too, so stay tuned for that!

From us all at the Wurm team, we hope you enjoy it as much as we do, and look forward to seeing you on Steam.

Retrograde & the Wurm team

Save the date! Steam launch 24th July 2020!

Hi Everyone!



Since our announcement of Wurm coming to Steam, we've been hard at work getting everything polished and ready for the launch. Over the past eight months, we approached several tasks to improve the Wurm experience for all; this includes:


  • Improved UI
  • Removal of RMT and account sales
  • Visual updates and reworks
  • Removal of player gods



We are pleased to announce that with the visual updates out, and the new UI approaching preview client stage very soon, we will be launching Wurm Online on Steam on July 24th, 2020!



We are entering an exciting period as we work on several tasks towards this date, polishing mechanics, addressing bugs and preparing for the monumental task of launching Wurm on Steam. We are currently working on a new trailer, more promotional work and we will be doing a bonus skill event during the release that will be running on all Wurm Online servers, to allow everyone to celebrate the launch, not just players interested in playing on the new servers.

We know there are lots of questions regarding the specifics, so here you can find our answers to some of the Frequently Asked Questions

I hope you're all as excited as we are because this is going to be huge!
