Treeverse finally has a release date. Endless Clouds just isn't telling anyone what it is.
In Monthly Treeverse Update #59, posted Oct. 31, the studio said the official launch deadline is "finalised including things like monetization." Then: "As usual, we won't share until we reach it, and then start to market it."
The rest of the update is real game work. Weapon wear now ticks once per damaging skill cast instead of per hit, the durability death penalty is gone, and ranked PvP matchmaking reached Levantos in dev builds. Most of the remaining time goes to polish, which the team says it has "polished and polished and polished."
Fifty-nine monthly updates in, the release date is still the rarest drop in the game.
