Evaluation
War Selection has been in Early Access since October 8, 2019 and remains actively in development. The developer has maintained a consistent pattern of significant content releases over the years, including numerous new playable countries: Italy was added on February 20, 2025, and "The Damned" — a new faction — launched on October 24, 2025. Across the scanned news history, the game has received 4 major content drops, multiple feature patches, and regular bug fixes. Feature patches have continued at a high pace in 2026, with substantive updates on March 24 (fog of war overhaul, tank crush mechanics, modding tools), August 7 (graphics improvements, ship physics rework, movement overhaul), August 14 (new water map types, matchmaking improvements, ship repair mechanics), and August 16, 2026 (in-game bug reporting, map generator improvements, balance changes). The store description references an in-game store with purchasable countries and special game modes, consistent with an ongoing live game. The developer has made no statement suggesting development is winding down or that a 1.0 release is imminent.
