Release watch

The release timeline

What Early Access means for a wiki

ArtDock estimates roughly 6–12 months in Early Access and discusses expanding challenges, modes, cards and progression. Those are developer plans, not a catalogue of delivered features. The estimate can change.

Our editorial policy is to keep tested behavior attached to a specific build. When a change arrives, affected guide sections should be rechecked before a “current” label is applied. A new announcement should not silently overwrite a demo observation.

Before release day

Use the official news hub to look for a dated announcement. Check whether it refers to the demo or the full game, whether the change is available now, and whether an exact time zone is given. A date without an unlock time does not support a precise countdown.

No confirmed price or worldwide unlock time is recorded in this preview. The dated delay announcement is recorded below; no undocumented balance patch is inferred from it.

Why older guides say October 30

A · DATED ANNOUNCEMENTS · SUPERSEDED DATE

The October 9 announcement targeted October 30. On October 28, ArtDock moved Early Access to November 13, citing additional work after festival feedback. The current store date agrees with the later announcement. A launch discount was promised, but the reviewed post gives no percentage. Source: ArtDock announcements, October 2026 ↗.

An older trailer end card or search snippet can preserve the earlier date after the plan changes. For scheduling, use the newer dated announcement together with the current store entry. Keep the old date in the historical record, not in a countdown. None of this proves that the eventual launch has occurred.
