Dungeon Crawler Carl: Unstoppable opens pre-orders now: shipping is set for November 2026

Renegade Game Studios has announced Dungeon Crawler Carl: Unstoppable, a solo-focused, card-crafting roguelike deck-builder in its Solo Hero Unstoppable line. Pre-orders are live now. Shipping is currently slated for November 2026, though Renegade still hasn’t pinned down an exact release date.

In the game, you play as Carl or Princess Donut and fight your way through the World Dungeon’s 18-floor deathtrap. The box covers the first three floors. Sleeve-based cards let you switch out attacks, gear, and abilities, and you can buy XP perks along the way, though only some of them carry over from one floor to the next. There’s also an optional two-player co-op mode.

If you already follow Dungeon Crawler Carl, this one stands out for a reason. The series started life as a Royal Road web novel in 2020 and has since turned into a massive franchise, with more than 14 million copies of the first eight books sold by July 2026. Jeff Hays’ audiobooks have also played a big part in bringing it to a much wider audience.

And the demand looks very real. BackerKit says the campaign for Dungeon Crawler Carl: Unstoppable, alongside the newly announced Dungeon Crawler Carl tabletop RPG, pulled in more than $13.29 million from nearly 56,000 backers, setting a new record for the platform.

You can pre-order Dungeon Crawler Carl: Unstoppable now from Renegade Game Studios. Meanwhile, the broader Dungeon Crawler Carl franchise keeps spreading into an RPG, miniatures, comics, graphic novels, and a Peacock TV series.
