is an enigma. After several years in development, and two dedicated developers, we’re seemingly no closer to seeing the final game. But the rush of news every so often is invigorating, and brings fresh hope we’ll finally see the sequel that deserves.

Keeping track of new updates has been difficult, but with publisher Paradox Interactive promising fresh communication as we head into 2025, we can look forward to a brighter future for this long-gestating project. Here’s everything we know about so far. When does release? does not currently have a release date.

What it have is a “first half of 2025” release window, as of August 2024. Given has had several release dates and too many delays to count, you should still treat this open window with a grain of salt. Unfortunately, the game has been the victim of multiple changeovers and hushed behind-the-scenes dramas, making its future relatively uncertain.

We can hope the game will release within its announced window of 2025, given this is relatively open, but it was previously given a similar window for 2024 that it subsequently missed. Stay patient, and keep an eye out for more news. Will be cancelled? At this stage, it looks unlikely that will be cancelled, as there have been relatively frequent updates about its development, and a complete developer switch that suggests care in the development process.

It’s also frankly been in the works for too long for its publisher Paradox Interactive to give up now – we would hop.
