Drunken Wrestlers 2

Drunken Wrestlers 2 has been in Early Access since April 1, 2019 — over seven years — with no announced 1.0 release date or public roadmap toward completion. The developer, Oleg Skutte, has been actively patching the game throughout its Early Access period, with the most recent patch notes published on February 7, 2025, and a server-related notice posted as recently as October 24, 2025. The game's development history has been turbulent. In December 2022, the developer announced server shutdowns due to severe financial difficulties caused by currency devaluation and banking issues related to leaving Russia. Servers were restored by June 2023 after community support. In February 2025, the developer announced a significant business model change — switching from free-to-play to paid — to combat abuse of the game's online infrastructure by pirates. The DLC list includes a second volume of the original soundtrack that remains unreleased with no announced date, confirming at least some planned content has yet to ship. Given the long Early Access duration, no publicly stated completion timeline, recurring financial challenges, and a development pattern that has slowed considerably compared to the active 2020–2021 update cadence, the future trajectory of the game's development is uncertain.
