At a glance

A partial chronology of dated official communications, kept separate from the current release listing.

This chronology is intentionally partial and non-exhaustive. It retains selected official communications whose dates and URLs are already recorded for this site.

A past target, an indicative timeline, or a conditional playtest statement remains tied to its original date. Historical communications are not used to override the current release state shown by the current store listings.

Official communications by date

The entries below are a selected record rather than a complete archive. Each statement is kept as a dated historical communication.

  • 2023-09-06 | Developer discussion

    In the thread opened on 6 September 2023, developer Aherys replied that Early Access was planned for 2024 if there was no delay, without a precise date. The reply is displayed on 7 September in the browser used for this review.

  • 2024-04-09 | DEV TIMELINE

    The Steam announcement published a development timeline and described it as indicative and non-exhaustive.

  • 2024-12-10 | Developer discussion

    December 2026 was presented as the project's date limit, with an earlier release left possible. This historical statement is not a guarantee.

  • 2026-01-13 | Developer discussion

    The Early Access target was described as late 2026, with several playtests expected before release. This remained a target at that date.

  • 2026-02-26 | DEV UPDATE #8

    DEV UPDATE #8 described prototype and interface work, Ground Zero restructuring and a core game-mode revamp. Further disclosure remained subject to internal validation.

  • 2026-03-17 | Developer discussion

    In the thread opened on 17 March 2026, Aherys replied on 18 March that an open playtest was intended for December, followed by Early Access if everything went to plan. The statement remained conditional.

What the record can and cannot say

These items document what was communicated at each date. They preserve earlier conditions and do not convert an old estimate, an indicative timeline, or a playtest intention into a current release promise.

Sources behind this page

Every claim remains tied to a dated, identifiable source.

Evidence statement : This partial historical chronology was compared with four Steam discussion threads, the 2024-04-09 DEV TIMELINE announcement and the 2026-02-26 DEV UPDATE #8. It preserves the authors, thread/reply date distinction and original conditions. DEV UPDATE #8 supports Ground Zero restructuring and a core mode revamp, not the pivot-year wording of the separate 2025 retrospective.

What remains unknown

Selected dated communications are historical records. They do not turn earlier estimates, timelines, or playtest intentions into a current release promise.
