The Casualties: Unknown release date<\/strong> is Monday, 9 November 2026 at 3pm CET<\/strong> (2pm GMT \/ 9am ET \/ 6am PT). After almost three years of development, solo developer Orsoniks is bringing the full game to Steam with publisher Oro Interactive.<\/p>\n

When is the Casualties: Unknown release date?<\/h2>\n

Orsoniks announced on 15 October that Casualties: Unknown launches on 9 November 2026 at 3pm CET<\/strong>. In the UK that’s 2pm GMT, and in the US it’s 9am Eastern and 6am Pacific.<\/p>\n

How much will Casualties: Unknown cost?<\/h2>\n

The game will cost $22.99<\/strong> with a 15% launch discount<\/strong>, plus bundles that lower the price further. The soundtrack (over three hours and more than 50 tracks) will also be sold at launch, alone or bundled with the game. Orsoniks says there will be proper regional pricing for both; UK and EU prices haven’t been listed yet.<\/p>\n

What’s in the full game?<\/h2>\n

The full release adds layers 6 to 11<\/strong>, three separate endings, three playable characters, 40 achievements, and what the developer calls “a truckload” of balance changes, bug fixes and quality-of-life additions. There are 10 main layers plus a shorter 11th layer and an optional bonus ending sequence.<\/p>\n

You start as the experiment and unlock the two other species by finishing a run with the previous character. Each has its own stats, quirks and playstyle.<\/p>\n
