The developer said the game would launch at that time across supported platforms, including the standalone PC client, Steam, Epic Games Store, Xbox Series consoles, and PlayStation 5.

Why do some sources say November 15, 2024?
November 15 was the date Grinding Gear Games announced earlier, on August 20, 2024. The company later changed the launch date to December 6, so November 15 was superseded rather than the actual Early Access start. The original date appears in the official announcement video; the later developer announcement and Steam listing give the launch date.

Is Early Access the full release?
No. Early Access marked the start of the game’s in-progress release, not its 1.0 launch. Xbox describes its version as “Game Preview” and notes that the game may change before it is final: Xbox game listing.

Recent reporting as of October 11, 2026, gives December 11, 2026, as the planned 1.0 release date. That is a separate milestone from the December 2024 Early Access launch, and the date is reported by PCGamesN, not confirmed by a primary announcement cited here. Treat it as a reported plan that could change.
