Founder's Pack and planned price
The PC qualification window has closed: Steam purchases made before July 10, 2026 qualify for the Founder's Pack at no additional cost, with rewards unlocking at 1.0. The pack contains the Spirit Cavern hideout, Sayer's Vow sword, a Founder's Tag, and access to a Founders Test Realm for future update testing. PS5 players are meant to qualify by pre-ordering between the start of pre-orders and launch day, but the start date and regional store price have not been formally announced.

Moon Studios CEO Thomas Mahler has said that the game is planned to move from its $40 Early Access price to $60 at 1.0. This is a direct developer statement, not a final regional storefront listing, so local prices and the PS5 price remain unconfirmed. Source: Thomas Mahler's pricing statement.
Save wipe and achievements
The March developer Q&A summary says that 1.0 will fully wipe existing characters and realms, treating the exit from Early Access as a fresh start. A separate forum record of a developer answer says achievements are planned for 1.0 and will not unlock retroactively from Early Access progress. Sources: March 1.0 Q&A summary and achievement and progression answer.
The wipe is the current developer position. Whether old saves will remain accessible through a separate Legacy build has not received a new formal 1.0 commitment, so this site does not promise continued access to those saves.
Class system, endgame, and post-launch support
In a June 29 interview, Mahler said players will be able to test the class system before 1.0. The system takes inspiration from Final Fantasy Tactics-style jobs: players can acquire traits, weapon runes, and Cerim runes through different classes, then combine those tools rather than relying on a traditional respec loop. The same interview says endgame details are planned for a future Wicked Inside presentation. Source: Wccftech's direct interview with Thomas Mahler.
Mahler also described the intended post-launch model as free updates for a period of time, with larger expansions sold separately rather than making the game economy depend on recurring microtransactions. This is a stated plan, not a dated roadmap. Source: the same direct developer interview.
Why Xbox and Switch 2 are later
Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2 are confirmed platforms, but neither has a release window. Mahler attributed the delay primarily to memory-footprint optimization: the team is targeting PS5 first and wants the lower-memory Series S and Switch 2 versions to meet its quality target before release. This is a technical explanation from a direct interview, not evidence of a timed-exclusivity agreement. Source: Wccftech's Thomas Mahler interview.

What this page does not do
This tracker does not turn rumors, datamined claims, isolated Reddit posts, or old Early Access behavior into patch facts. Community reports can identify a problem worth investigating, but an official source or multiple independent current-version sources must support the final explanation.
If an official entry is missing or a source has changed, report a correction. Our Editorial Policy explains how updates are reviewed.
