The dark, Arthurian world of Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon is finally nearing its full release, marking the end of its successful Early Access journey. As of today, December 17, 2025, the development roadmap from Questline and Awaken Realms is crystal clear, pointing to a massive final push that will deliver the complete, epic story of the Wyrdness-plagued island. The development team is committed to a final, save-wiping major patch before the highly anticipated 1.0 launch, ensuring a polished, feature-complete experience for all players.
This article breaks down the definitive timeline, the colossal content additions, and the final major milestones that pave the way for the game's full debut. From the game-changing pre-release patch to the official launch, here is everything you need to know about the final phase of the Fall of Avalon roadmap.
The Definitive 1.0 Launch Date and Full Content Scope
The roadmap for the full release of Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon culminates in a single, confirmed date that fans have been waiting for.
Official 1.0 Release: May 23, 2025
The official launch date for Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon is set for May 23, 2025. [cite: 1, 3, 6, 7 from step 1] This date marks the transition from Early Access to a full, version 1.0 release across all platforms, including PC (Steam and GOG) and PlayStation 5 (PS5). [cite: 1, 3, 4, 10, 15 from step 1] This final release is the culmination of months of player feedback, dedicated updates, and a complete overhaul of core game systems that have defined its time in Early Access.
What the 1.0 Version Includes
The full 1.0 release will deliver the complete narrative experience, finally allowing players to see the conclusion of the dark fantasy storyline. The complete content will feature:
- All Three Acts: The full main story will be available, including the previously unreleased Act 2 and Act 3 content. [cite: 2 from step 1]
- The Core Narrative: The full arc of the Wyrdness on Avalon, the mysteries of the Menhir, and the fate of the Arthurian legends will be revealed.
- Complete Polish: Extensive performance improvements, bug fixes, and final quality-of-life adjustments based on the final Early Access patch.
The Final Major Pre-Release Milestones
Before the May 2025 launch, the roadmap includes two critical content drops: a massive, game-changing final patch and the first full-fledged expansion.
March 2025: The Final Major Update (Version 0.9)
The most crucial step before the 1.0 release is a final, major update scheduled for March 2025. This patch is highly significant for two reasons:
- Last Save Wipe: The developers have confirmed that this March update will be the *last time* player saves are wiped. This means any progress made after this patch will carry over directly into the 1.0 release.
- Massive Reworks: Often referred to as a "monster" update, this patch focuses on a complete overhaul and polish of the initial content. This includes a completely revamped Prologue and Act 1, ensuring the early game experience is as polished as the later acts. [cite: 9, 10 from step 2, 7 from step 2]
This final Early Access patch is designed to be the definitive version of the game's foundation, incorporating all lessons learned from the community before the final Act 2 and Act 3 content is unlocked in May.
The First Expansion: Sanctuary of Sarras
Running parallel to the final polish is the release of the first official expansion, *Sanctuary of Sarras*. This content drop is a major addition that significantly broadens the world of Avalon.
The *Sanctuary of Sarras* expansion offers players approximately 10 to 15 hours of new adventures and side activities, delving into a drowned secret of Avalon that has been hidden for six centuries.
Key features of the expansion include:
- New Skill Trees: Three completely new skill trees are introduced, offering fresh build options and further character customization.
- New Bosses: Players will face four new, challenging boss encounters, testing their combat prowess and mastery of the game's mechanics.
- Alternate Storyline: The expansion features an alternate narrative that explores the fate of Sarras, adding depth to the lore of the world. [cite: 5 from step 1]
- New Gear: Over 100 new equipment pieces, including armor, weapons, rings, amulets, and relics, are added to the loot pool. [cite: 12 from step 1]
- Free Bonus Content: A free DLC, "Bonus Content #1," was also released, offering five new item sets, such as the Fore-Dweller and Champion sets, as rewards for in-game achievements. [cite: 11 from step 1]
Topical Authority: Key Entities and Themes
The full roadmap ensures that all major elements of the *Tainted Grail* universe are fully fleshed out and polished for the 1.0 launch. The development has heavily focused on integrating the game's core themes and mechanics.
Core Entities and Concepts:
- Avalon: The central, massive open-world island, now fully explorable across all three acts.
- The Wyrdness: The mysterious, deadly energy that is corrupting the land and driving the main narrative.
- Menhir: The ancient, protective stones that must be maintained to keep the Wyrdness at bay.
- Combat System: The deep, tactical combat system, which has seen continuous refinement throughout Early Access, is now finalized.
- Questline and Awaken Realms: The developer (Questline) and publisher (Awaken Realms) responsible for bringing the original board game's grim atmosphere to the digital realm.
- Character Progression: The expanded skill trees and gear system, offering substantial replayability and build diversity.
The final pre-release period is a clear indication that the developers are moving from content creation to a final, intensive polish phase. With the last major save wipe scheduled for March 2025, players can jump in after that date with confidence, knowing their progress will carry over to the massive 1.0 release on May 23, 2025. The journey through the fallen kingdom of Avalon is almost complete.
