Snail, Inc. Reports Bellwright Surpassed 1 Million Units Sold Ahead of Full 1.0 Launch
CULVER CITY, Calif., March 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Snail, Inc. (NASDAQ:SNAL) ("Snail Games" or the "Company"), a leading global independent developer and publisher of interactive digital entertainment, today announced that its medieval survival title, Bellwright, has officially surpassed 1 million units sold on Steam in Early Access. The achievement highlights the title's strong Early Access performance and positions Bellwright for additional commercial upside as it advances toward the full 1.0 launch and console port to Xbox and PlayStation.
Bellwright combines open-world survival mechanics with town-building systems, strategic combat, and progression-driven gameplay set within a dynamic medieval world. Its consistent content updates and active player base have driven durable sales performance and reinforced the Company's confidence in scaling the title. The upcoming Xbox and PlayStation launch aims to further support the title's accelerating growth and capture incremental demand from player bases beyond the PC community.
Surpassing one million units sold ahead of its 1.0 release highlights the title's thoughtful development, strong community engagement, and long-term franchise potential for Bellwright. Bringing development fully in-house through the previous acquisition and integration of Donkey Crew, the title's independent development studio based in Poland, further aligns the creative vision, operational execution, and long-term IP strategy to support the game's continued evolution. As Bellwright approaches full launch, this milestone reflects a solid foundation and meaningful momentum heading into its next phase.
"We're incredibly grateful to the players who believed in Bellwright early and helped shape it into what it is today," said Florian "Chadz" Hofreither, Creative Director and Project Lead from Donkey Crew. "The community's feedback, passion, and patience throughout development have been instrumental in reaching this milestone. As we move toward 1.0 and beyond, we're excited to continue building alongside our players and expanding the world of Bellwright."
Florian "Chadz" Hofreither, Creative Director and Project Lead from Donkey Crew will be available for interviews at GDC 2026 from March 9-13 at Booth #1238. For press interested in scheduling an interview, please reach out to [email protected].
