It's still in development, but we should be getting very close to having a release candidate sometime in the near future. Which means an unstable release, but something playable. As for a stable release, my guess is that the team is angling(hur hur) for a stable release by Christmas, but depending on how many bugs they have to swat it could be shortly after New Year's that there's a proper stable release.

Ooh! Is that new music?

I find it hilarious that he fishes up an old boot. That trope originates from way back when there were no waste disposal services, so everybody threw their trash in the lakes and rivers. somehow, after 2 apocalypses and space-time distortions mixing everything up, we are still finding old boots in random ponds all over the world.

It appears to be.

If the player throws the boot back in the water after fishing it up, it could in theory be the same boot they catch every time.

I think you're shooting way to early, i think the preview versions will come early 2026 around Jan-Feb.

Very possibly. The main reason I make that guess is that it's not uncommon to release things around that time to boost sales/let players enjoy the new content over the holidays while they presumably have more time. I'd wager it's also a little easier to relax a bit as a dev if there's not a nearly finished update pending, but a newly released update does come with its own set of problems.

I don't care when it comes, so long as they don't slow down to the snail's pace the other block game is at. It's like all their updates must be carefully vetted and fine-tuned to ensure each update is simultaneously as shallow and as advertisable as possible. I guess that design process must take as long as 6-8 month to accomplish.

Well, you'll have fishing, advanced forgery with tool stats and various mechanical power parts. So shallow this update won't be. I'm so excited.

Don't forget the trader overhaul and procedural dungeons! We know the update to traders is confirmed, and Elvas has teased some dungeon stuff in his trader-focused streams.
