Ebbtide Steam Page Is Live: 15,000 Wishlists Announcement

Ebbtide, the zombie survival RTS by ProjectAlive, reached two linked milestones in late October 2026: the Steam store page went live on 2026-10-20, and on 2026-10-21 the developer posted a thank-you announcement for 15,000 wishlists. This page restates those official notes only; it is not a ProjectAlive press release.

Broader schedule context sits on Ebbtide release date. Gameplay framing from Steam: gameplay overview. The same week in shorter dated form: development timeline. Platform and demo wording: Ebbtide FAQ.

What did the 2026-10-21 Steam announcement say?

2026-10-21 (09:42 UTC): Steam community news titled “15,000 wishlists. Thank you!” (author line Son on the feed) stated:

• 15,000 wishlists on the new store page.
• Future development updates will post on Steam rather than only on social channels.
• “When a playtest is ready, you’ll hear about it here first.” (playtest timing itself is not dated in the post).
• AI use matches the Steam store AI Generated Content Disclosure; the developer noted voice and translation still need work and plans re-recording and localization with community contributors, plus interest in new soundtrack collaboration when possible.
• Recruitment for voice and translation contributors via official Discord.

Full quoted AI text lives on Ebbtide AI disclosure on the Steam page. Read the announcement: Steam news for app 4915700.

Japanese media mentions (secondary)

2026-10-21: Japanese outlets 4Gamer.net and Game*Spark (via Yomimono) published articles noting ProjectAlive opened the Ebbtide Steam page. Treat these as press coverage of the store launch, not as extra gameplay specifications beyond what Steam and ProjectAlive already published.
