FreelandFreeland · entered 19 Sep 2024FreelandFreeland · entered 19 Sep 2024Our primary aim is to continuously refine and polish the game to ensure the best possible experience for all our players. While we understand that game development timelines can be subject to change, we anticipate that Freeland will transition out of Early Access sometime in early to mid-2025. It's important to note that this timeline is approximate, as we prioritize quality over rushing the release. As such, we're committed to providing regular updates and improvements throughout the Early Access phase, working diligently to address feedback and enhance gameplay mechanics. While we can't provide an exact date at this moment, we'll keep you updated on our progress as we move closer to the official launch. Your patience and support during this journey are greatly appreciated, and we're excited to embark on this adventure with you.read 15 Sep 20269 monthsuntil 30 Jun 20252 years265%Overdueby 15 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.
