Launch Patch — Key-Binding Fix
The day-one patch fixed a key-binding bug that could lock out the block/parry input after remapping, lowered loud explosion audio, and made minor boss-fight balance tweaks.
Dinoblade Launches on Steam
The full game released on July 23, 2026 for $19.99, with a 10% launch discount to $17.99 running through July 30. It topped Steam's Popular Releases chart on day one.
Free Demo Goes Live
A free one-hour demo covering the Dry Canyons route through Kira, Axe and Kasei helped the game pass 500,000 Steam wishlists before launch.
What is Dinoblade?
Dinoblade is a 2026 soulslike action RPG on Steam (PC), built by solo developer Jean Nguyen, a senior gameplay animator at Sucker Punch. You play a young Spinosaurus who clenches a colossal greatsword in its jaws and battles rival dinosaurs across canyons, jungles, swamps and frozen peaks. Combat is built on Sekiro-style posture and parries: fill an enemy's resolve bar with well-timed deflects, then land a devastating Instinct Counter. Defeat bosses to summon them, spend Boss SP on Soul Arts, hunt legendary weapons, and survive the cataclysm that armed every dinosaur with a blade.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the questions new Spinosaurus players ask most.
What can I play Dinoblade on?
Dinoblade is currently a PC exclusive on Steam (Windows). There is no confirmed PS5, Xbox, Switch or mobile version at launch — Team Spino has not announced console ports yet.
Will Dinoblade be on PS5?
Not confirmed. The game launched July 23, 2026 as a Steam PC exclusive. Any PS5 or other console release would be a future announcement from the developer; nothing is dated today.
How much does Dinoblade cost?
The launch price is $19.99, with a 10% launch discount bringing it to $17.99 through July 30, 2026. A free one-hour demo is also available on Steam.
Is Dinoblade a hard Soulslike?
It is best described as a "Soulslite." Combat uses Sekiro-style posture and parries, but it is more forgiving than a full Soulslike — you do not drop your currency on death, and leveling is partly automatic.
