[p][/p][p]It's been nearly a year since we launched into Early Access (boy, how time flies!) and we figured it's about time we shared an updated Early Access Roadmap for 2026.[/p][p][/p][p]As we get closer to our full launch, our development attention will be focused on two core areas:[/p][p][/p]

• [p]Adding new gameplay content to fulfil our creative vision for the final experience.[/p]
• [p]Working on improvements to existing systems based on player feedback.[/p]

[p][/p][p]Here's what we need from you as we move forwards:[/p][p][/p]

• [p]Your thoughts on what's working, what isn't, and what's missing[/p]
• [p]Your feedback in particular on ways to improve the tutorial, infection and injury, combat, AI behavior, stealth, traversal, and general quality of life.[/p]

[p][/p][p]We're incredibly proud of what we've delivered so far over the past 11 months, we're excited about the new content we're working on (yes, Steam achievements are coming!) and we're looking forward to completing our Early Access journey with you, our players, at our side.[/p][p][/p][p]Feel free to ask questions, leave thoughts, and join the discussions with our dev team over in the Discord: https://discord.gg/Xd8RPnRZjx[/p][p][/p][p]And we'll see you in a couple weeks for our next batch of survivor missions![/p][p]
