OtaHub's take
According to RPG Site, published October 12, 2026, the game moved from November 12, 2026 to March 10, 2027 in Japan and the US; Europe is listed only as 2027. The team says the extra time will let it address remaining issues and polish the experience.
The team says it will refine encounters so that positioning, initiative and ability choices play their part, and it is working on progression systems to make developing the party more engaging. A demo is available on Steam.

if you like Owlcat-style tactical RPGs, the demo is a way to try the game first. The new date is March 10, 2027, so there is no need to plan around late 2026.
