Tabi Entertainment has confirmed that The Bestest Alchemist, a charming puzzle roguelike coming to Steam on PC, is shifting its release window to Q1 2026.
While delays are never fun to hear, this one comes with a clear purpose: the studio is extending development time to add polish, refine systems, and ensure the launch version delivers the magical experience players are expecting.
For fans of cozy-but-challenging puzzle games, that’s great news.
Why The Bestest Alchemist Is Worth Waiting For
The Bestest Alchemist blends strategic puzzle mechanics with roguelike progression — wrapped in a cute, magical aesthetic. You’ll brew potions, solve inventive puzzles, and craft powerful synergies as you hunt for the most efficient ingredient combinations.
Every run lets you experiment, unlock recipes, and upgrade your growing collection. With 100+ potions to discover, the possibilities feel endlessly fun and deeply tactical.
It’s the kind of game that rewards creativity as much as planning.
Development Update: More Polish, More Magic

Major milestones achieved so far include:

The added time will help the team finalize art, optimize systems, and ensure the roguelike loop feels rewarding across multiple playthroughs.
