Inflexion Games announced today that their upcoming PvE survival-crafting game Nightingale will be available sooner. The Early Access release date for Nightingale has been shifted forward by a couple of days and will now begin on February 20 as opposed to February 22.
“Having the game release at the start of the week not only allows our community to get into the game earlier but also gives us time to address any launch issues ahead of what’s sure to be a busy weekend. All in all, we’re excited to get the portal network up ahead of schedule.”

Nightingale just had a successful open-stress test on February 2, opening the window for an earlier release. I had a chance to jump in and play for a bit, and it’s become one of my most anticipated upcoming releases.
Even though we’re in a time of frequent survival crafting game releases like Palworld and Enshrouded, Nightingale has been five years in the making by a team of over 100 developers at Inflexion Games. The team is comprised of many industry veterans including CEO Aaryn Flynn, former GM at Bioware who worked on Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and the Mass Effect franchise.
Players traverse a “Victorian gaslamp fantasy” world with up to five friends, exploring many diverse Realms they access through portals. Along the way, you’ll craft unique Realm Cards that influence what lies inside the next portal. You can also plop down your own Estate and build your own home inside these realms.
It’s a very ambitious project but from what I saw in the stress test, it looked to be as special as advertised.
Nightingale releases in Early Access on Steam and Epic Games Store on February 20.
