Tavern Keeper Shares Robust Roadmap Up to Version 1.0

Greenheart Games' latest title, Tavern Keeper, has risen the ranks of popularity just a few days since its launch on the 3rd of November, and the team not only already achieved the prestigious Overwhelmingly Positive mark, but there's also a robust roadmap to keep track of. In a world where — sometimes — Early Access titles can be unreliable, Greenheart Games offers a breath of fresh air with their in-depth toadmap showing off what to expect, while still keeping some surprises for those following along.

Here's everything you need to know about the roadmap information!

Major Update 1 — A New Hue

Q1 2026

The first major content update is set to launch a few months from now, sometime during Q1 2026, inviting players to revisit Tavern Keeper after they're done with their shenanigans. Here's what we already know about the update:

• Upcoming colour picking tool, which will allow you to customise every part of the object to create your own masterpiece.
• More stories to be added.
• Three redacted elements

Major Update 2 — Delving With Dwarves

Q2 2026

Tavern Keeper launched without Dwarves (which is honestly a little insulting to those who love the delvers, like Martin Heath). Here's what you can expect to arrive during this update, launching sometime in Q2 2026!

• New level called Domhain, deep in the mountains where the Sun never shines and gold flows freely.
• A new shop to make, giving you the opportunity to decorate it, stock it, and manage it within your own tavern.
• Earthquakes, because you always need a little chaos in your cosy management.
• Desserts! That's all; we don't really need to sell it more to you. It's desserts; who doesn't love them?
• Three redacted elements.

Major Update 3 — Strut Your Staff

TBA

From here on, the updates don't have an expected release window, which is a healthy approach for Greenheart Games and the prosperity of Tavern Keeper. These updates will be coming, but we don't know when. Here's what we know about Strut Your Staff!

• Better staff skills & progression, making having high-skilled staff more important and offering improved skills, unlockable upgrades, and more management control.
• More stories.
• Three redacted elements.

Major Update 4 — Elf Help

TBA

The fourth major update, Elf Help, will be the final one during Early Access, where players will be able to take over the Ertingale tavern, inviting Elven staff to the team. Here's what we know so far about Elf Help:

• The world of Ertingale.
• High-tier accommodations in the Deluxe Accommodation system, letting you build a laundry and schedule room service.
• Five redacted elements.

Version 1.0 Release

TBA

The roadmap leads all the way to the Version 1.0 release for Tavern Keeper, where we only really know one thing: Meramin. Players will be able to create a grand tavern in the capital city, home of the Tavern Keeper's Guild!

Aside from that one tidbit of information, there are six total redacted elements for the Version 1.0 release.
