Ancient Dungeon VREric Thullen · entered 3 Nov 2021Ancient Dungeon VREric Thullen · entered 3 Nov 2021The current plan is to stay in early access until all features that are planned have been developed. Since the start of early access, a lot of new features have already been announced that we never thought we would add, like Multiplayer for example. This is why we can't give a perfect estimate and will need to adjust the release date of the full version once more features have finished development. Furthermore, since this is a roguelite game, there are endless possibilities content wise. We have a lot of ideas that we want to realize which may take a considerable amount of time. We expect to have most of the content finished around end of 2025.read 12 Sep 20264 years 2 monthsuntil 31 Dec 20254 years 10 months117%Overdueby 8 months

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.
