Coral Island players and everyone planning a visit, the moment you’ve been waiting for is almost here. Version 1.0 of Coral Island is officially launching on November 14 on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5, and the Early Access period will soon be but a lovely island memory.
If you haven’t yet jumped into Stairway Games’ laid-back reimagining of the farm sim genre, get ready to start a whole new chapter of your life. For those of you who have been part of the Early Access community or following along with development, the Stairway Games team has put together some key details about the official launch, including all of the new content, a heads-up on some important changes, and info for those who backed the game on Kickstarter. Read the full details on Stairway’s site, and check out the essentials below.
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 Steam key” to [email protected] 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.
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!)
