Lethal Company

Lethal Company launched into Early Access on October 23, 2023 and remains in that state — the developer has been steadily building toward a full 1.0 release with a consistent stream of major updates. The most recent major release, Version 80 (The Blooming Update), shipped on April 5, 2026. It added three new creatures, a reworked moon exterior, a new utility inventory slot, new facility rooms, and a wide range of performance and system improvements. Importantly, the developer explicitly stated in that same post that Version 85 is coming and will be "much more content-focused," making this a direct commitment to the next named update. The June 1, 2025 update (V70) further established that interior reworks and creature additions are part of "a series of several updates" that the developer plans to ship before taking the game out of Early Access — making the 1.0 graduation itself an explicit future milestone. The developer (solo developer Zeekerss) has shipped five major content updates since launch: Version 45 (December 2023), Version 50 (April 2024), Version 55 (July 2024), Version 60 (August 2024), Version 70 (June 2025), and Version 80 (April 2026). Despite a side project (Welcome To The Dark Place) causing some slower periods, the developer explicitly stated in October 2024 "I am not done with Lethal Company," and the April 2026 release confirms they returned to active development as promised. As of October 8, 2026 — approximately six months since the Version 80 release — Version 85 has not yet shipped, but given the developer's stated intent and the historical pattern of updates arriving every few months to a year, this is within the expected window for this solo developer's release cadence.
