Kiln: when pottery art meets chaotic action arenas

On April 23, 2026, Kiln officially launched. Unlike any action game you’ve seen before, Kiln blends the calming feel of pottery making with the explosive intensity of fiery arena battles.

Creation and destruction: two extremes in one game

In the world of Kiln, players don’t just pick from preset characters. Instead, you become a true artisan at the pottery wheel. The game lets you mold clay, decorate, and shape vases, jars, or bowls. The twist is that these handcrafted creations become the bodies for spirits to inhabit and take into battle.

Shape defines playstyle

The physics system in Kiln plays a central role in the gameplay experience. The shape of your creation directly determines its stats and combat style:

  • Large, thick vessels offer high durability but move more slowly.
  • Smaller, slender designs provide agility and faster attacks.
  • Combining shapes like plates, mugs, or bowls unlocks different abilities and special moves.

Teamwork and strategy in the arena

Kiln strongly emphasizes multiplayer gameplay. In online arenas, your team must coordinate to break through enemy defenses. The ultimate goal is to collect enough water to extinguish the opposing team’s kiln.

As battles unfold, the arena gradually fills with fragments from both allies and enemies. This is where individual skill and team coordination are pushed to the limit in the fight for victory.

Hang out at The Wedge

After intense matches, players can relax at The Wedge. This social hub lets you practice pottery skills, refine your designs, or simply admire and share unique ceramic creations with other players.

Kiln is now available on Steam. If you’re looking for a fresh experience where creativity is celebrated before being smashed to pieces, this is a game you shouldn’t miss this April.
