Version numbers are worth watching in this game. Five patches in five days means any early guide may already be out of date.
The full list is in Patch Notes and Known Issues.
Why some sites show a different date
Some third-party sites show placeholder dates like “December 31, 2026”. Those are placeholders, not the real date. Trust the Steam store page’s Release Date and the official Steam announcements — the official date has always been September 8, 2026.
What Early Access actually means here
The EA build is playable, but content keeps landing and patches are fast (the game is already on 0.9.10). Rock Paper Shotgun put it plainly: the core loop is in, but do not expect a finished game — more is coming and it will be tuned against community feedback over the next six to twelve months. The developer also warns the price may rise as content grows. So “buy now or wait for 1.0” comes down to whether you are fine playing while it is still moving.
How to double-check
Open the Steam store page for the Release Date, or the Steam Community’s official announcements. Price, platforms and demo status each have their own page.
