Ignite the Depths Surpasses 100,000 Wishlists — First Playtest Set for September 3–7

·metadepth editorial

SK Studios confirmed Ignite the Depths has passed 100,000 Steam wishlists and announced the game's first playtest will run September 3–7, 2026.

What happened

SK Studios posted "100k Wishlists + Playtest Date Reveal!!" on Steam, confirming the game surpassed 100,000 wishlists — well beyond what the small team says they expected — and locking in the first playtest window.

Key details

100,000+ wishlists reached

First playtest: September 3–7, 2026

The playtest covers a limited slice of the full game, not the complete experience

Access opens on the start date — there's no early-access window before September 3

Purpose is stated as feedback collection and bug fixing ahead of launch

Further details promised as the date approaches, via Discord

What this means for players

This is the first real chance to play Ignite the Depths before release. Because it's described as a limited slice, don't expect all three dimensions, the full class roster, or endgame content to be represented — treat anything datamined or discussed during the playtest as beta/subject-to-change, not final. We'll update class and build pages with real playtest data once it's live, rather than guessing ahead of time.
