Notes of Soul

Notes of Soul (探灵笔记) has been in Steam Early Access since January 17, 2019 and remains so as of today, September 17, 2026. GKD Game Studio has maintained a sustained pattern of updates across the game's lifetime. The news history shows a consistent stream of feature patches delivering new characters, skills, ability reworks, cosmetics, maps, and balance adjustments — continuing through all of 2024 and into mid-2025. The most recent posted update, dated June 9, 2025, included character skill adjustments, bug fixes, and map tweaks. Prior updates in May and June 2025 added new character skins, accessories, and holiday-themed cosmetics. In January 2025, the studio announced an official licensed mobile game adaptation, indicating the franchise remains commercially active. While developer communication has been quiet since June 9, 2025 — roughly 15 months before today's date — the game's established cadence of updates was frequent enough (multiple patches per month through mid-2025) that this silence is notable but not unprecedented given the game's long history. The developer has made no statement indicating that Early Access development is ending or that a 1.0 release is imminent.
