The beta and launch are separate dates

Closed Beta 02 is scheduled to finish on September 6 at 08:00 UTC. September 10 is the commercial Early Access release, so a video or player count from the test weekend is pre-release activity. EVIDENCE / 01WARDOGS on SteamOpen source (opens in a new tab)

Use the beta timetable for test hours. For launch, check the Steam listing close to release; the beta's 18:00 UTC opening time does not establish an Early Access unlock hour.

When is the full release?

BULKHEAD estimates roughly one to two years in Early Access and says the duration can change with development and feedback. That is a planning estimate, not a dated promise for version 1.0. The Early Access overview separates the current scope from planned additions. EVIDENCE / 01WARDOGS on SteamOpen source (opens in a new tab)

PC is the active platform in the developer FAQ; future platforms are only described as something the studio may consider. The September date should therefore be used for the announced PC release. EVIDENCE / 02WARDOGS developer FAQOpen source (opens in a new tab)
