ASHWAKEGhost Development · entered 25 Nov 2025ASHWAKEGhost Development · entered 25 Nov 2025ASHWAKE is a long-term solo developed project, and it's hard to say exactly how long it will take to gather player feedback, refine combat, develop the story & atmosphere, and if possible, implement modding systems. The current estimate for Early Access is around 2-4 years, but this could change depending on the size of the development team in the future. Currently, the game is being developed by a solo creator. The game is expected to leave Early Access once the story is complete and all mechanics are fully functional, with no major game breaking bugs or issues. For more details on the game's development, please refer to the official roadmap and social channels in the Discord.read 8 Sep 202624–48 months10 months20%On the clock3 years 2 months left

A game is in Early Access when the store lists it among its genres; the clock starts on the day the ledger saw it enter or, for a game that launched into Early Access, on the release date the store prints. The promise is the developer’s own questionnaire answer, kept word for word; only ranges and single figures are compared, open answers are listed as open, and answers the parser could not read say so. Graduations are recorded from 3 Sep 2026, so earlier years undercount them. A game whose questionnaire has not been read yet says “not read yet” under No promise (how). Data by SteamPeaks.com.
