LEZ

LEZ is a free-to-play rhythm game that has been in Early Access since May 27, 2022, developed by a single developer (Daztrax Studios). The game has been in ongoing development throughout its Early Access period with regular patches and updates. The most recent developer communication came on May 6, 2026, when the developer posted a devlog announcing that the core of the upcoming 0.19.0 update is complete, with a few remaining unfinished features. The update is targeting a Q2 or Q3 2026 public release, with a semi-private regional beta test planned shortly before that. This is a substantial upcoming update that includes a fully redesigned UI, improved note timing accuracy, a new localization system, a beatmap editor, new game servers, and additional customization options — all of which were promised in developer communications going back to August 2024. Development did experience a temporary pause in September 2023 due to concerns over Unity's licensing changes, but the developer publicly confirmed on September 25, 2023 that development was resuming with Unity after those concerns were resolved. Since then, the developer has continued to post updates, including a security patch in October 2025 and a content patch in April 2025. The 0.19.0 update has been in development for an extended period, with the developer acknowledging this delay in a February 2024 post. However, as of May 2026 the developer is actively communicating, the update core is described as ready, and a release timeline is provided. The game remains actively worked on and has clear, specific upcoming content confirmed by the developer.
