Evaluation

Ertugrul of Ulukayin entered Steam Early Access on June 12, 2025. Since launch, Tekden Studio has shipped four major updates: Major Update #1 on June 21, 2025; Major Update #2 on August 23, 2025; Major Update #3 on December 18, 2025; and Major Update #4 on April 29, 2026 (with patch notes noting the content was delivered from a February 19, 2026 build). This establishes a consistent pattern of substantial updates roughly every 2–4 months. On December 1, 2025, the developer posted a candid community message acknowledging that the Early Access launch underperformed commercially and that some team members had to be let go. Despite these challenges, the team affirmed their commitment: "Our goal is clear: to finish the game." They also announced official partnerships with PlayStation and Xbox and that they were awaiting dev kits to begin console ports — signaling continued investment in the game's future. This Tier 1 statement of intent, combined with the ongoing update cadence, confirms the studio is actively working toward a full 1.0 release. The game is currently in Early Access with active development ongoing. No completion date or final update has been announced. The developer's most recent communication was the release of Major Update #4 on April 29, 2026, which is approximately 8 weeks before today's date (June 21, 2026), well within the established update window.
