We first reported on Clockwork Ambrosia, a new action platformer from Realmsoft, in February, when a demo was released on Steam. Now, the developer has announced that the game, in development for 14 years, will release on May 12th, 2026. Blending fast-paced 2D action with deep weapon customization, Clockwork Ambrosia invites players to build their own arsenal through a wide range of modular upgrades, from screen-filling shot splitters to devastating missile barrages and precision sniper rounds.

“After 14 years of development, seeing Clockwork Ambrosia finally launch is incredibly meaningful for our team,” said Nathan Hiemenz, Founder and Developer at Realmsoft. “We set out to create a metroidvania where creativity is at the core of the experience, and May 12th marks the moment players can finally explore that vision for themselves.”

Clockwork Ambrosia key features:

Side-scrolling action platformer with an authored, interconnected world to explore

Six vastly different weapons, each offering unique mechanics

150+ modifications for simple and intuitive weapon-customization, offering endless experimentation

Snappy crafting system lets players unlock new powers and abilities at their own pace
