WORLDS AT WAR (Monitors & VR)

Worlds At War has been in Early Access since March 9, 2018. It is a solo-developer project (Muddy Pixel) that has received intermittent but genuine updates over the years — including major content drops like the helicopter animated controls update (November 1, 2023), the leaderboard feature (October 24, 2023), and various gameplay and physics overhauls going back to 2018 and 2019. The most recent developer activity was a bug-fix post on October 3, 2024, following a September 2024 engine revert from Unreal 4.27 back to 4.22 due to GPU compatibility crashes. However, this developer has a well-documented history of very long gaps in communication. There was a gap from approximately January 2020 to July 2023 during which the developer published no updates, followed by a return with a patch note that explicitly acknowledged "a long hiatus." As of today (June 27, 2026), the game has been silent since October 3, 2024 — more than eight months — which exceeds the six-month threshold for concern, particularly for a game still in Early Access with no announced 1.0 roadmap or completion date. The developer has not announced any future content, has not stated that the game is complete, and has not communicated any plans for a 1.0 release. Given the history of extended hiatuses followed by resumptions of work, it is unclear whether development is ongoing or has quietly stalled again. The game remains purchasable and listed as Early Access on Steam.
