EARLY ACCESS · KNOWN & UNKNOWN
Launch facts,
clearly labeled.
Based on the official announcement and Steam store page as checked 09 November 2026. Release plans can change; follow the store page for the latest status.
When is Melvor Idle 2 coming to Early Access?
The official announcement and Steam store page list 17 November 2026 for the Steam Early Access release.
What changes from the demo?
The developers announced three new skills—Astrology, Herblore, and Agility—and a level cap increase to 99, with content available up to that level. The post also lists four new Mastery Guild ranks, 1,800+ items, 150+ monsters, 25 pets, and Act 2 of the main storyline. These are announced scope figures, not a guarantee that every balance detail is final.
Does the demo save transfer?
Yes. The developers say demo saves will transfer to Early Access and should be ready to load when you launch the EA version. They recommend a local backup: on the character select screen, open the gear menu, choose “Copy save string to clipboard,” then paste it into a text file. The Steam page also lists Steam Cloud as a feature.
What level can I reach now?
The demo caps every skill at 60. The announced EA version raises the cap to 99 and includes content up to that level. The demo and EA statements describe separate versions.
Is there a confirmed price, exact skill XP table, or optimal build?
This guide does not claim an XP table or optimal build because the official sources linked below do not provide those details. Check the current Steam listing for commercial information and the in-game Codex/action tracking for mechanics once the EA build is available.
What remains unknown or subject to change?
Exact rates, item recipes, drop chances, detailed unlock paths, balance values, and final launch-day implementation details can change and are not established by the announcement summary. We will mark them as unknown until there is a reliable source.
