Early Access is getting closer, and while we are not rushing the process, the team is actively preparing for the next big step. Right now, the focus is on making the Steam Early Access launch as smooth as possible. We do not have console release details to share just yet, but we know many of you are interested, and we will share more when the time is right. Something important is also coming soon.
