Update history

Every entry below comes from the developer's own Steam announcements, with their own publication dates. Each one is marked still current or superseded, so you can tell whether something you read elsewhere still applies.

Correct as of Update #6 · 2026-08-03

There is no version number to quote. The developer labels releases by update number and date only — no build string, no semver, nothing in the client. So that is how we stamp pages: Update #6 · 2026-08-03. If you see a guide citing a version like “0.9.4”, that string appears in exactly one publisher support article and does not line up with the update numbering.

What “superseded” means here

It does not mean the entry was wrong when it shipped. It means a later update changed the same thing, so advice written against it no longer describes the live game. The clearest case is the 2026-07-12 hotfix that disabled Trampler capture: correct for three weeks, then reversed by Update #6 on 2026-08-03. Guides published in that window still say capture is unavailable.

One gap worth knowing about

Early Access opened on 2026-06-22, and the announcement feed we read begins on 2026-07-02 with the Update #2 rollback. Update #1 and the launch-day notes are not in the range we retrieved, so this timeline is complete from Update #2 onward rather than from launch.
