[h3]We have made the difficult decision to move The Precinct’s release to the first half of 2025.[/h3]

We know that this will come as disappointing news to our fans and we’re very sorry about any upset that this may cause, but we haven’t made this decision lightly and we’d like to explain our reasoning behind it.

At Fallen Tree Games, we are a core team of just 5 people, so we do not have the same resources as the large triple A studios that make similar sandbox-style games. We have been working tirelessly at the moment to add polish to the final game and implement bug fixes so that we could try to hit our 2024 release, which is why we’ve waited until so late in the year to put out this announcement. Even with all 5 of us working as hard and as fast as we can, we do not believe we will be able to deliver the game we want to by the end of this year. In short, the game we could deliver this year is not the game we believe you deserve.

During Steam Next Fest, we received an enormous amount of attention and over 300,000 people played our demo in just one week. We read through over 1,300 demo reviews, along with more than 700 comments in our Discord and across social media. We can’t thank everyone enough for taking the time to play our demo, give your feedback on it, and leave such positive comments in your demo reviews, in our Discord, and on social media. It definitely lifted our spirits and showed us that we’re heading in the right direction!

We have not announced an official release date for 2025 yet, but we’ll let you know as soon as we have a new date confirmed.

We want to emphasise how thankful we are for your positive feedback and overwhelming enthusiasm for our game. Your love for and enjoyment of The Precinct has kept us going during long working days and hours upon hours of bug fixing. We really appreciate you taking the time to read our announcement in its entirety and we hope you can be patient with us as we continue to create a game that we think you will love.
