Overview
- Early access begins January 13, 2026 on PC via the game's own launcher, with Mac and Linux TBD and consoles planned later.
- Developers say they do not see Valve's store as necessary at first and want to avoid overindexing on negative reviews from less-informed players, though a future Steam release is not ruled out.
- The base price is $20 worldwide while limited region-specific pricing is being added, and higher-tier editions offer early access perks with only cosmetics carrying over to full release.
- Monetization will be cosmetic-only with no pay-to-win, and the studio says it will take no cut from monetized modder or server creations for the first two years.
- Pets, animal taming, and fishing are planned but won't be in at launch, and proximity chat is described as close but not arriving immediately.
