Press release:
United States, October 23rd, 2025.
The US-based indie games developer Noodle Cat Games are today very thrilled and proud to announce that their physics-driven co-op ARPG “Cloudheim“, is coming to PC (via Steam and Epic Game Store) via Early Access on December 4th, 2025.

Get ready to gather loot and combine wild weapon traits with physics for endless emergent experimentation! To commemorate this launch, Noodle Cat has released an all new trailer revealing the release date as part of the Galaxies Showcase today.

The Cloudheim demo was among the most played during Steam Next Fest, so due to popular demand, it will remain available for a while longer so more players can whet their appetite by experimenting with Cloudheim’s cavalcade of combos!
Cloudheim is a vibrant action-RPG built for co-op chaos and based around creative physics-based combat. Up to four players can team up to unleash mayhem in a fully destructible world. Tear down pillars onto the monsters around you, lasso enemies into tornadoes, kick exploding barrels into the fray, and string together aerial combos. Anything and everything can happen in this sandbox of physics-based pandemonium!
Your offensive options are exponentially expanded as you can craft hundreds of potential weapons, gear, and powerful attacks on the fly by tossing materials into forges in real-time. There are no menus or downtime here folks! Instead, you can see exactly what your friends are up to at any given moment, as everything happens persistently in the game world. All loot and crafted items are shared, and you’re personally progressing your class levels and hero XP within a shared world, so you’ll have to work as a team to make the most of your band’s everchanging array of abilities.

Explore diverse islands and mysterious dungeons while expanding the operations of your flying turtle base, the Odin Shell, in this colorful world inspired by Norse mythology. Expand your workshop, customize your space, run a thriving shop, and uncover hidden secrets as your fortress takes flight!
“After seeing the reaction to our demo, the whole team is excited to get the full game into the hands of players. It’s been awesome to see the wild things people have done in game, sometimes even surprising our devs. This is just the beginning though, as we’re planning to add more content while working with players to make Cloudheim the best game it can be,” said David Hunt, CEO and Founder of Noodle Cat Games.

Cloudheim’s Key Features:

Physics-Driven Combat: Lasso, launch, and juggle enemies into fire pits, each other, or the scenery—anything goes. Longer air time = more damage.
Real-Time Crafting & Fusion: Grab and toss materials directly into crafting stations in the world. No menus, no inventory clutter—just pure, visible teamwork.
Drop-In 4-Player Co-Op: Tame creatures, fight bosses, and explore mythic dungeons with friends. All loot is shared; your progression is not.
Evolving Base & Shop System: Return from adventures to upgrade your base, sell loot, and unlock new features.
Stylized Fantasy World: Built by a team of experienced artists, Cloudheim is rich with visual flair, character, and discovery.
