"Kiln is a game with two facets: creation and destruction. On the creation side, players get to design a ceramic vessel of their choosing, anything from a dainty saucer to a massive vat. From the clips showed, this riff on character creation imitates many of the real processes of throwing on the wheel. There are options to decorate your vessel with glazes and stickers for additional personalization."
"Once you've made your pottery creation, it's time to destroy it. The game mode that Double Fine showed off during the Developer Direct is called Quench. In these capture-the-flag style matches, your teammates are trying to carry water in the vessels they've designed to the enemy's kiln, where the goal is to douse its flames before opponents can do the same to yours."
Kiln blends ceramic creation with competitive multiplayer brawling. Players shape vessels on a simulated wheel, choose forms from saucers to vats, and customize with glazes and stickers. The showcased mode, Quench, uses capture-the-flag mechanics where teams carry water in their crafted vessels to douse the enemy kiln's flames. Vessel types provide varied offensive and defensive attacks, promoting strategic team composition. Kiln launches in spring 2026 on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and Steam, and will be available through Xbox programs including Game Pass Ultimate and Xbox Cloud Gaming.
