Direct answer
ZENONIA 1 was released on Steam on August 31, 2026. The official Steam announcement gives the release schedule as 12:00 a.m. PDT, which is 3:00 a.m. EDT, 8:00 a.m. in the UK, and 5:00 p.m. AEST in eastern Australia on August 31.

What remains unconfirmed
The linked sources do not confirm a Steam Deck rating, release dates for later ZENONIA games, or a fixed update schedule. Steam now sells the game and lists a demo; regional prices and offers appear on the store page.
Release time by region
The launch announcement uses 12:00 a.m. PDT. For August 31, 2026, that converts to:
| Region | Launch time |
|---|---|
| US Pacific | 12:00 a.m. PDT |
| US Eastern | 3:00 a.m. EDT |
| UK | 8:00 a.m. BST |
| Central Europe | 9:00 a.m. CEST |
| Eastern Australia | 5:00 p.m. AEST |
These are the announced launch times, not a countdown to a future release. Steam now offers the full game for purchase.

What changes from the demo?
The launch announcement says the full version includes the complete story and goes beyond the demo. The Steam Next Fest feedback post also explains several changes the team expected for full launch or was still reviewing.
| Area | Pre-release feedback post |
|---|---|
| Quest guide toggle | Already implemented |
| Pixel-style UI changes | Planned for full launch |
| Double-tap directional dash | Planned for full launch |
| Quick save on gamepad | Planned for full launch |
| Repair all equipped gear | Planned for full launch |
| Separate music and SFX volume sliders | Planned for full launch |
| More visible combat feedback | Planned for full launch |
| Full mouse input support | Not supported in that feedback post |
| Auto-save | Not supported in that feedback post |
| Dialogue log or story recap | Not supported in that feedback post |
That makes the demo useful for checking the basic combat, tone, and UI, but it should not be treated as the final full-game feature set.
PC requirements and language support
The current Steam listing separates minimum and recommended hardware:
| Requirement | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 64-bit | Windows 10 64-bit |
| Processor | Intel Core i3-6100 | Intel Core i5-12400 |
| Memory | 8 GB RAM | 16 GB RAM |
| Graphics | GeForce GTX 1060 | GeForce GTX 1660 |
Updated September 5: the minimum requirements are lower than those in the pre-release listing. Use the demo to check how the game runs on your hardware.
Steam lists 10 interface/subtitle languages. The current language table does not mark any language as having full audio.
Is the demo representative?
The demo can help you check combat and keyboard or gamepad controls. The feedback table above records pre-release plans, not a test of every feature in the current build. Check the latest patch notes for implemented changes and save compatibility.
