Radical Fish Games has officially dated the Early Access launch of Alabaster Dawn for May 7, 2026 on PC via Steam. The announcement came alongside a new trailer during the Triple-i Initiative 2026 showcase, giving fans their clearest look yet at the studio's follow-up to the beloved action RPG CrossCode.
CrossCode built a dedicated fanbase through its tight mechanics, clever puzzle design, and surprisingly deep narrative - so anticipation for whatever Radical Fish cooked up next has been simmering for years. Alabaster Dawn appears to carry that same action RPG DNA, and the Early Access model suggests the team wants community feedback baked into the development process before a full release.
The Triple-i Initiative showcase has become a reliable platform for indie heavy-hitters to make their moves, and Radical Fish's slot there signals confidence in what they've built. According to reporting from Noisy Pixel, the outlet had already run an early preview of the game, meaning hands-on impressions are already out there for anyone wanting to dig deeper before the May launch.
What to expect from the Early Access launch
Early Access launches can be a mixed bag, but when a studio with CrossCode's pedigree goes that route, it's worth paying attention. Radical Fish clearly knows how to ship a polished, feature-complete game - CrossCode remains one of the most content-rich indie RPGs ever released - so an EA period here is more likely about refinement than filling holes.
If you haven't watched the new trailer yet, it's streaming now and worth a look for any action RPG fan. May 7 isn't far off, and with CrossCode's reputation behind it, Alabaster Dawn is shaping up to be one of the more interesting indie releases of the year.
