Soldat 2

Soldat 2 entered Steam Early Access on September 22, 2020, and received a steady stream of updates through 2022 and into 2023, including a major "Total Rehaul" overhaul in April 2022. A smaller feature patch followed in July 2024. However, on September 25, 2024, the developer (Michał Marcinkowski) published a frank post titled "Future of Soldat 2" explaining that he would not be returning to full-time development on the game. He cited Steam's algorithm making it unlikely the game would ever grow significantly, and the financial necessity of working on new projects. He explicitly stated that a 1.0 release is unlikely and that he had already updated the store page to reflect this. He offered to release small community-contributed updates occasionally, and offered to hand over the codebase to any skilled developer who wanted to take over. Since that post, all developer activity on this Steam page has been focused on Jackal — a new game announced in September 2025 and launched February 5, 2026. There have been no Soldat 2 patches or development updates since July 18, 2024. The game remains in Early Access with no clear path to a 1.0 release.
