šPARALIVES RELEASE DATE ANNOUNCEMENT + New Trailer + Pricing + More!
🕑 Added 2025-06-08 20:19:39 +0000 UTCHi, Alex here for an extremely exciting post! Weāre finally ready to announce a release date for Paralivesā Early Access, which will be December 8, 2025, and we made a brand new trailer for the occasion! We also have many details to share regarding the gameās release, so please read on!
This Patreon post is public, so feel free to share it. Thank you!
š„ A Brand New Paralives Trailer
Weāre happy to reveal a new trailer for Paralives! You can watch it at the top of the post or on Youtube. We made this trailer to announce the release date of the game and to showcase parts of the Paralives town and its citizens. We got the opportunity to present it at the PC Gaming Show, which happened today! We are so excited to have been part of this event and we hope that more people will now look forward to Paralives.
š„³ Early Access Release Date Announced
Paralives will come out on Steam in Early Access on December 8, 2025! šš„³šš
As it will be Early Access, players will probably find that the game needs more content. Our goal with Early Access is to provide a first enjoyable experience that has room to grow, so that we can collect feedback from players and improve the game. Weāre looking forward to jumping into this next exciting phase of Paralivesā development!
šØ New Key Art and New Logo
To celebrate the release date announcement, we have a brand new key art to use on our Steam page. A huge thank you to Mario Miravalles who did this amazing illustration!
Also, weāve changed our logo! Weāre a bit sad to say goodbye to our old one but we really felt like updating it so that it better represents the mood of the game. The new hand-written aspect shows that the game is all about creativity and also, it gives a more personal vibe, just like the stories you will be able to tailor for your Parafolks.
šµ Pricing
Paralives will cost $39.99 USD when it comes out in Early Access this December. After the Early Access phase, when the game launches its 1.0 version, we plan to increase the price of the game. Our goal here is to thank early players with a smaller price tag as core gameplay features are still being improved, bugs are being fixed, and content is being added.
As a reminder, during Early Access and after, the game will only ever get free updates and expansions and will never have any paid DLCs. This decision stems from the fact that, as life simulation fans ourselves, we believe that players deserve a complete experience when purchasing a game. Since we are a small independent team, the sales from the base game will be enough to sustain the development of exciting new features and content for Paralives.
š Features and Content: What to Expect At Launch
For those who are curious about what to expect from Paralives at launch in terms of features, hereās an overview. Please note that upcoming features are not listed in priority order. Also, after the game has completed its Early Access development phase, we plan to add even more features and content!
As you can see, the game already has a considerable number of features! Weāre eager to improve these and add even more during Early Access to make this life simulation game as complete and as good as possible following the feedback that we will receive from you, the players.
As a reminder, you can look at our monthly development recaps and consult the fully detailed roadmap listing all features in the game and whatās still to come.
š What Will Happen to our Patreon After The Early Access Release?
Itās been an incredible opportunity to get the support from everyone on Patreon. It allowed us to connect with the community, get important feedback as we shared updates on the development, all while ensuring we have the financial means to achieve our vision for Paralives.
As we get close to the moment where everyone will finally be able to play Paralives, we would like to announce that when the game releases in Early Access, we will stop accepting new and existing monetary pledges and will also sunset the various pledge rewards after they have been delivered to everyone. Itās been an incredible journey to develop the game alongside you all through Patreon, and we canāt thank you enough for that. After the release, we feel that our Patreon will have completed its purpose, which was to bring the game to life. We feel truly honored to have had this opportunity and we are moved by this chapter coming to an end. However, we will keep the Patreon platform open, but mainly to inform you about upcoming updates for the game and collect feedback and ideas on how to improve it.
For those who are wondering how to best support the ongoing development once the game releases, purchasing the game as well as sharing feedback on your gameplay experience here on Patreon, Discord, or other platforms will be the best way to do that!
ā”ļø A note about the pledge rewards
Anyone subscribing to our Patreon before the moment when we close the rewards on December 8, 2025 (release day) will still be able to get most rewards. However, the rewards that unlock after 1 or 3 months of pledge will become unavailable to new Patrons after July 31, 2025. In other words, itās still not too late to upgrade your pledge tiers to get these rewards if you have been thinking of doing so.
The Hero and Legend tiers have some rewards (underlined in red) that will no longer be claimable for people who start pledging after July 31, 2025.
I hope you are as excited as we are for whatās to come and we canāt wait for you to jump into Paralives on December 8th. Weāre sincerely grateful for all your support over the years and for making Paralives possible!
See you soon for more news and updates on the game, here on Patreon!
Alex and the team

I have a question, will you guys get the game to work on the steam deck? I would love to play this game on the go in addition to playing at home on my main PC.

I think that after the game launches, once early access is overālike in version 1.0āeven though I know youāve said DLCs and updates will be free (which I love and find super exciting), maybe you could consider adding a little store to buy cosmetic stuff. Like items for Create-a-Parafolk or Build Mode, just to help support you and future improvements to the game. Something like a āParaStoreāā¦ or something like that. Anyway, itās just an idea you could think about way down the line. Thanks so much for everything! š . Creo que posterior al lanzamiento del juego, finalizado el acceso anticipado, o sea en la versiĆ³n 1.0 aunque se que han mencionado que los DLC y actualizaciones serĆ”n gratuitas lo cual me encanta y me emociona; creo que tal vez deberĆan considerar hacer una tienda para adquirir objetos tal vez estĆ©ticos para el modo crear un Parafolk o para el modo construir para seguir construyendo a ustedes y a mejoras del juego, algo como una ParaStore... O algo asĆ, igual es solo una idea que podrĆan meditarla mucho mĆ”s a futuro. Muchas gracias por todo. š

I'm so excited for this! It's not often I buy a game on release day, let alone early access but I will definitely be doing so for Paralives. Well done to everyone involved!

Is there any chance that the game will release on ps5 in the future?

You pay for the game when you buy it. So if you buy it on day 1 of early access in December, you pay that day. But you won't have to pay again once it releases fully :) You will be able to buy it on Steam.

What is required to get early access? Do we pay for the game then or after the official launch?
