With the release date set for July 15, 2026, this discount offers a welcome break for players planning to dive into the abyss on day one.

Unlocking the Milestone Savings

The community has been actively pushing the game's visibility since the recent Steam Next Fest demo. By reaching the 600,000 wishlist milestone, the game unlocked its second major community tier.
