Pathless Woods will launch on Steam Early Access on April 3, 2024 and will remain so for about one year, but it can be subject to a variety of factors as development continues.

“The current version contains survival, building, farming, and companionship; a main quest route; part of creatures and monsters, and a boss mission. We know that bugs will appear (and we rely on feedback from players), and our goal is to bring you a really fun and great game, so we'll take any issues that come up in the Early Access seriously and deal with them.”

“We have setup a lot of gameplay and features for the Early Access version, but there are still many features and function are still under development. In the complete version, more and better content will be introduced, and of course, we will also fix and adjust the problems that find out in the Early Access.”
