World of Anterra Kickstarter and Pre-Orders
World of Anterra was funded through Kickstarter. Learn how the campaign worked, how pre-orders continue after it, and where project updates are posted.
Can you still support World of Anterra after the Kickstarter?
Yes. The Kickstarter campaign itself is closed, but according to the game's official site, anterrarpg.com, you can still pre-order: the page asks "Did you miss our exciting Kickstarter? You can still pre-order the game!" and points readers to a pre-order link. So the short answer is that post-campaign support happens through pre-orders rather than through a live crowdfunding page. Note that the specific terms of those pre-orders, such as price or what a pre-order includes, are not officially documented in the material available here.
What the campaign looked like
According to the same official site, the Kickstarter finished at "Over 300% funded" and "Ended September 23, 2022." Those are the campaign details the official site records; any other funding figures that circulate in community comments are not official documentation and are not confirmed here. 81monkeys is both developer and publisher on its Steam listing, and the itch.io page for the game describes it as "the type of game only an independent studio could make."
Pre-ordering and what is confirmed
The Steam page (app 2402470) is the other place to follow or wishlist the game, and it is the most detailed official listing available here:
- Developer and publisher: 81monkeys
- Release date: 2026 (a year, not a specific day)
- Price: no price is shown on the US store listing, so pricing has not been announced in the facts available
- Platforms: Windows, per the Steam listing
One thing worth flagging: the official website mentions "Desktop & Console," but the Steam listing only names Windows, and no console versions or dates are documented in the material used here. Treat console availability as unannounced until 81monkeys says otherwise.
The teaser bundle on itch.io
81monkeys also hosts a page on itch.io for a downloadable teaser bundle, listed there as "Name your own price." According to that page, the download is the "WoA Teaser Assets Bundle 1" (3.4 MB) and contains concept art, a high-resolution "Dragon Eye" profile avatar, and wallpapers for desktop and mobile. The page lists the project's status as "In development."
Be aware that this bundle is not the game. Per that page the download is teaser assets only, and one visitor comment there asks when a demo of the game will be available. Whether the download costs anything is not stated in the material used here, so treat its pricing as officially undocumented. A demo is also treated as unfinished business officially: a Steam announcement from 9 August 2026 said gameplay footage, launch dates, and a demo were "at the top of everyone's list," but that particular Fireside event would not cover them.
Where updates get published
81monkeys runs several channels, and the same posts tend to appear in more than one place:
- Steam announcements, which carry the wishlist milestones: 80,000 wishlists (29 May 2026), 100,000 (8 June 2026), and 150,000 (24 August 2026). The 150,000 post said the team was putting everything into the game "which leaves nothing for marketing at this time."
- A BackerKit project updates page, which reproduces posts such as the Trailer 2 premiere and the 43rd Developer Fireside, the team's first YouTube Live broadcast.
- Discord and YouTube, where Fireside sessions and trailer premieres are hosted.
Practical summary
Support after the Kickstarter means pre-ordering through the official site, wishlisting or following on Steam, and optionally looking at the teaser assets bundle on itch.io, which that page lists as "Name your own price" — the facts here do not say whether that download is free or what it costs. What is not officially documented here: a price for the game, a specific release day beyond "2026," the contents or delivery method of a pre-order, or any console release details.
