• Sancta – Early Access Development Update - 8 June 2026

  Sancta – Early Access Development UpdateSancta was originally planned to leave Early Access this spring. However, the game has grown much larger than I first expected, and I have decided to give it more time.The game is now almost complete in terms of content, but the next few months will be focused on polishing, bug fixing, balancing, optimization, and completing the final version.My current goal is to release the full version in autumn 2026.I do not want to rush Sancta just to meet the original date. Atmosphere, tension, and immersion are the most important parts of the game for me, and I want the final version to deliver that experience properly.Thank you to everyone who has supported Sancta during Early Access. Your patience and support mean a lot.
