Primordian

Primordian has been in Early Access since January 19, 2018 — over seven years. The solo developer (credited as "J") has been actively rebuilding the game from scratch multiple times during this period, most recently completing a major overhaul that was shared in a landmark update on December 31, 2025. That December 2025 update is the most significant milestone yet: it delivered a radically redesigned build with 23 of the game's 28 story mode levels playable. However, the developer explicitly noted that the build is incomplete — RPG elements are not saved, progress does not persist between sessions, the final 5 levels are still missing, and extra modes remain locked. The developer described it as a "work-in-progress milestone build" meant to gather feedback while development continues. The developer has been consistently communicating throughout 2024 and 2025, posting a series of "Final Release Progress" updates (June 2024, August 2024, November 2024, March 2025, July 2025) before the December 2025 playable build. This shows genuine and sustained effort toward completion. However, the game's history includes multiple missed self-imposed deadlines: an October 2024 feature-complete target (announced August 2024) was not met, and a "few months" exit from Early Access promised in March 2023 also did not materialize. As of today, June 27, 2026, there have been no developer posts since December 31, 2025 — nearly six months of silence following a build that was explicitly described as still incomplete. This pattern of optimistic timelines followed by delays, combined with the current silence, makes it difficult to predict when the game will actually reach its 1.0 release.
