Double Fine’s multiplayer pottery battler Kiln gets surprise reveal

Today’s Xbox Developer Direct had a secret fourth game alongside the three confirmed titles: Kiln, a new game from Double Fine Productions. It can best be described as “an online multiplayer pottery party brawler” to use the words of Tim Schafer. Players battle it out as various pieces of crockery, with the freedom to customize their own appearance via the game’s crafting system. Kiln launches in spring 2026 for PC, Xbox and PlayStation consoles. Double Fine noted the game’s history in the Developer Direct: It was created as part of the 2017 Amnesia Fortnight game jam by project lead Derek Brand. Players are formless spirits, who find bodies via the game’s pottery wheel and hub world, The Wedge. According to the developers, the player’s earthenware form directly influences their combat abilities. The more clay, the bigger the pot, the slower and tougher the player — and the inverse is also true. .memberful-global-teaser-content p:last-child{ -webkit-mask-image: linear-gradient(180deg, #000 0%, transparent); mask-image: linear-gradient(180deg, #000 0%, transparent); } Read This Article FreeGet instant access by joining the GB MAX Access tier — it’s free to sign up and unlock premium content.Join Now to Start ReadingAlready a member?
