Bloody Knuckles Street Boxing

Bloody Knuckles Street Boxing remains in Early Access, having launched on June 2, 2024. The developer has shipped four major patches since launch: Patch 0.2 on June 18, 2024; Patch 0.3 on September 17, 2024; Patch 0.4 on November 28, 2024; and most recently Patch 0.5 on February 18, 2026. Each patch has delivered substantial new content — Patch 0.3 introduced Simulation Boxing and Team Battle modes; Patch 0.4 added a physical referee, co-op Focus Mitts, and new guard options; Patch 0.5 brought a full visual damage system, a new vulnerability/damage system, six new venues, fighter archetypes, cloth physics for cosmetics, and more. The game's version numbering (currently 0.5) is a clear signal from the developer that the product is far from feature-complete. No developer statement has mentioned a 1.0 release date, a conclusion to Early Access, or a wind-down of development. The interval between major patches has been: roughly 3 months (0.2→0.3), roughly 2 months (0.3→0.4), and roughly 15 months (0.4→0.5). Taking the longest observed gap as a reference, the cadence window extends to approximately May 2027 from the last patch. As of September 24, 2026, it has been approximately 7 months since Patch 0.5 shipped on February 18, 2026 — well within that window. The developer also remains community-engaged, having hosted a live tournament event on January 11, 2026 as a final balancing test for Patch 0.5. There is no indication of developer distress or abandonment. The sustained update history and sub-1.0 versioning together indicate ongoing development continues as expected for an Early Access title.
