Those looking forward to Lightbulb Crew’s gothic turn-based strategy title Ex Sanguis will have to wait a while longer. Original slated to enter Early Access on Steam in a matter of weeks, the launch has now been postponed to “between July and September 2026.” The team had been contemplating the shuffle since the sixth playtest results back at the end of April, in order to properly implement the feedback.

According to the devteam, the playtest was “very instructive,” and given the team plenty of ideas for the next steps in development. Those include balance combat and reassessing the game’s difficulty, improving combat readability, as well as the diversity of missions and encounters.

“We apologize for this delay but we prefer to take the time to implement it right rather than rushing and not delivering a game that meets your expectations,” says the team.

Ex Sanguis has you leading your elite warriors known as Stillae as the last hope for their dying world. To do so, you must engage in tactical combat against the forces of Stasis and restore the flow of life. That involves spilling blood, and plenty of it.

Taking a few cues from the XCOM series, you must use your surroundings to your advantage to turn the tide of battle in your favour. You can also use Timeline Effects to speed up, delay or swap time position in order to impact turn order and outsmart your enemies. You will also unlock a range of abilities, each offering powerful synergies and deep build customization.
