Corepunk “The Great Reset”: Server Wipe on June 25, 2026 — What You Need to Know
Last Verified: May 2026
Corepunk has officially announced a full server wipe, officially titled “The Great Reset,” scheduled for June 25, 2026. The announcement is live at corepunk.com/en-us/news/the-great-reset-corepunk-wipes-on-june-25-2026-2031.
This is a significant event for anyone currently playing Corepunk and a potentially good entry point for players who have been waiting on the sidelines.
What Is Corepunk?
Corepunk is a top-down action MMORPG set in a cyberpunk/fantasy hybrid world. It has been in Early Access and distinguishes itself through its isometric perspective, deep crafting systems, and a blend of futuristic and fantasy aesthetics. For more on the current state of the game, see the Corepunk Early Access Overview.
What Is “The Great Reset”?
A server wipe means all character data, progression, currency, items, and other accumulated game state will be deleted. Every player starts fresh from zero on June 25.
This is a common practice in Early Access MMOs and survival games for several reasons:
Balance corrections: As a game evolves through Early Access, economy systems and power levels often become imbalanced in ways that cannot be fixed without resetting. A wipe allows the developers to apply fixes and launch a corrected version of the economy.
Fresh playing field: Server wipes eliminate the wealth gap between veteran players and new arrivals. After June 25, everyone in Corepunk is on equal footing regardless of when they started.
New player retention: MMO economies are notoriously hostile to new players in mature servers. A fresh economy is significantly more accessible.
Live testing of changes: Developers can introduce major systemic changes (loot rates, crafting recipes, economy flow) and observe how they play out from day one.
Should You Start Playing Corepunk Now?
If you have been curious about Corepunk but have not started yet, the answer is worth thinking through:
The case for waiting for June 25: Starting fresh on a wiped server puts you on equal footing with veterans. Everyone is new at the same time, which means the social and economic environment is more welcoming for a new player than it would be today.
The case for playing now: With a wipe coming in about a month, it is a good time to learn the game’s systems without the pressure of permanent progression. Use the time before June 25 to understand combat, skill builds, crafting, and the world map before the “real” fresh start begins.
If Corepunk has been on your list, June 25 is the natural entry point. Server resets generate a spike in player activity, which means more people to group with, more activity in the economy, and more populated zones as everyone simultaneously starts from scratch.
