What is Ashbound?
Ashbound is an open-world action–adventure built inside Minecraft, set within a large interconnected world filled with dangerous zones and instanced dungeon runs. Explore the world, enter dungeons, fight enemies and bosses, collect loot, decide when to extract or push deeper at the risk of losing everything, play solo or in co-op, build and upgrade your base, craft gear from gathered resources, and shape your progression through levels, skills, and light quest systems.
The project is currently in development — worlds, systems, and gameplay are actively being built and refined ahead of the first playable release.
