Paralives Pushes Early Access Launch to May 25, 2026 After Playtest Feedback

The developer says the team needs more time to polish the simulation for a stronger first experience.

Overview

  • The indie life sim was slated for December 8, 2025, but the date has moved to May 25, 2026.
  • Expanded playtests highlighted impactful Live Mode bugs and too few in‑town activities, prompting the postponement.
  • A 45‑minute progress stream on November 25 will show the current state of the game with uninterrupted live mode gameplay.
  • The studio published a roadmap prioritizing bug fixes and improvements to the first‑time user experience ahead of Early Access.
  • Creator Alex Massé cites a small team and a “three games in one” scope, and reiterates plans for free post‑launch expansions instead of paid DLC.
