changedHi!“We had a lot of good feedback gathered from events like PAX, Gamescom, Tokyo Gameshow, and then from our recent public demo on Steam. The vision for the game stays the same, but this feedback highlighted a few tweaks or features that would really help the game feel just that much better. As we got closer and closer to release, we had to keep moving many of these additions to post-launch support. But we feel the game deserves to make a good first impression so we rethought things and together with Broken Mirror Games decided to move the date to January 2026. We know it’s last-minute, but we hope fans will understand. We’re doing a multiplatform launch, so if we want to get these changes in and tested on all versions, we’d need a few more weeks.” - Janusz Tarczykowski, Our Game Director from Rock Square Thunder

As for the date change, while the game was originally planned for November 7th, 2025, we recently decided they wanted a little more time to better incorporate some changes and features gathered from community feedback.
