Untitled Studio announced during the Triple-i Initiative Showcase the release date for the Early Access version of their medieval management simulator Blacksmith Master, which is set to arrive on PC via Steam on May 15, 2025. This game puts you in charge of managing production chains and growing a business that will attract customers from across the kingdom.
You’ll start as a small, humble workshop that can grow into a bustling forge, producing swords, armor, kitchenware, and jewelry. Every item begins as raw material, such as ore mined from quarries or wood from forests. Resource management is key to keeping production running, and your decisions, whether to invest in worker camps or expand your workshop, will directly impact your business’s success.
The process of transforming raw materials into finished goods is complex. Each item follows its own recipe, some require intricate procedures like forging, tempering, and grinding, while simpler items can be crafted more quickly. As your reputation grows, you’ll unlock opportunities to expand your workspace, upgrade tools, and develop new products to satisfy increasingly demanding clients.
Success isn’t just about resources, it also depends on the workers in your forge. Each employee has unique skills, and their progression is tied to your investment in training and equipment. For a glimpse of what to expect from the game, check out the trailer below.
