GOAT OF DUTY

Goat of Duty entered Steam Early Access on July 10, 2019 with an active development cadence — the team shipped three major content updates and multiple patches between July and December 2019, and in October 2019 announced a full 1.0 launch date of January 16, 2020. In January 2020, that launch was postponed, with the developer citing a desire to test more features first. The last update ever posted for the game was the Goathernet Update on September 25, 2020, which improved networking and hinted that "something's gonna happen really soon." That something never arrived. The game has received no updates or communications since September 25, 2020 — now nearly six years ago — and has never left Early Access or reached its promised 1.0 release. On June 23, 2026, developer 34BigThings posted a studio-wide announcement describing their history under the Embracer Group and teasing upcoming projects under a newly independent structure. Goat of Duty is not mentioned at all in that post. The studio is clearly still active and working on other games (including Carmageddon: Rogue Shift and an unannounced title), but there is no indication they intend to return to Goat of Duty. The promised full launch and the additional features teased in 2020 appear to have been abandoned without any official statement to that effect.
