What it is
Kiln is an online multiplayer pottery party brawler from Double Fine, where crafted pots become battle armor for colorful spirits. Players sculpt on a pottery wheel, then take their creations into online arena matches against another team. A pot’s shape and size affect its attributes, abilities and play-style, so the team’s mix of forms matters in a fight. The objective is to break through enemy lines and gather enough water to douse the opposing kiln. Between battles, players can practice pottery, decorate their creations and share them with others. The game also describes realistic clay manipulation with a range of tools and techniques. Kiln released on April 23, 2026, for Windows, and is also listed for Xbox Series X and Series S. Steam lists multiplayer, online PvP, cross-platform multiplayer and full controller support, alongside options including color alternatives and custom volume controls.
