Alien DawnVoyagerVR · entered 23 Oct 2021Alien DawnVoyagerVR · entered 23 Oct 2021We expect Alien Dawn to remain in Early Access for approximately 1–2 years. This timeline may change depending on player feedback, development priorities, and the amount of additional content and polish we ultimately decide to include. Our priority is to make sure the game is ready for its full release rather than rushing toward a specific date.read 13 Sep 202612–24 months4 years 11 months245%Overdueby 2 years 11 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.
