As of the time of writing in 2026, the team is hard at work on Update 18 and is aiming to fully release the game with Update 19, which is currently scheduled for 2027.read 12 Sep 20265 years 8 monthsuntil 31 Dec 20274 years 5 months77%On the clock15 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.
