changedWhat to Expect at LaunchWe plan to release the remaining 4 chapters one-by-one as major, free content updates.

Release Window and Early Access Plans

We are thrilled to announce that we are targeting an Early Access release within the first half of 2026! Our ambitious roadmap is finally progressing better, and we are pushing to meet this goal.

To keep you fully informed, we are also working on building a publicly available roadmap that will outline our development focus both leading up to launch and throughout the Early Access period. You’ll be able to see exactly what we're tackling next, chapter by chapter.

What to Expect at Launch

SCP: Submerged will launch in Early Access with Chapter 1 fully playable. This chapter serves as your critical introduction to our core gameplay loop, the atmospheric setting, the lore of the North Sea Branch, and your first terrifying encounters with specific SCP entities.

We plan to release the remaining 4 chapters one-by-one as major, free content updates. This phased approach allows us to make continuous improvements, including reworks, remasters, and quality-of-life updates to existing chapters so the final product remains polished from beginning to end.

On Pricing: The price will be significantly lower at Early Access launch than at full release. This is our way of rewarding the early bird players and ensuring the unfinished experience comes at a fitting price. There is only one planned price change, where the price will reflect the full release price, likely being changed close to or on full release day.

There will be no paid content updates for the core game during Early Access however, meaning;

Anyone who buys the game at the lower Early Access price will receive all 5 chapters and the full final release at no additional cost.

Joining Early Access is inherently cheaper, and your valuable feedback during development lets us tailor the game specifically for you!

That's all for now, but more is coming very soon! Thank you all for your support and patience as we continue to build this project with love and care <3
