Name change and Early Access Update

Polyion · published 6 Sep 2025, 10:28 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hi all,

A quick little update before I get back to working on the game and take a break over the weekend.

Name Change

Getting the name change out of the way first, "Polyion" will be getting renamed to "The Lone Rover" which better fits the new version of the game. The game has completely changed, and is going in an entirely new direction, so with that I believed a name change was necessary.

A request to change the name has been made, while I wait for it to be completed/changed, the store page will show the new name; "The Lone Rover".

Development Update

Development is moving along nicely and a 0.1 update at the end of this month is looking more and more likely as mentioned in the previous post. I am very much focused on getting a playable version of the game out into Early Access and then continuing development over the coming months, I am also in the middle of changing all of the store page images and descriptions and the library images and information.

The price will not be changed alongside this update, but a price increase could happen at a later date.

That is everything for now and I will keep you all updated over the next few weeks,

Thanks!

A year ago I posted about several big updates coming to Polyion and a change to its name. Throughout the following months I spent a lot of time considering the future of this game, but one thing I always came back to was that I didn't want to give up on it. The name of the game will not be changing, but the game its…
