Geoplanetical release date

I lined up the Steam store date, the SteamDB release timestamp, and the news posts. They agree on 28 Oct 2026. Two other websites do not. I am writing their dates down so you can see they are the outliers.

The date

Timeline I can source

• 29 Jun 2026 — Dev Update #1, first item in the Steam News API window we pulled.
• 24 Aug 2026 — community vote about Early Access, in that same news list.
• 28 Sep 2026 — announcement of the 28 Oct date and the $24.99 / €24.99 / £20.99 price, with a first-week 10% cut.
• 28 Oct 2026 — Early Access, then a same-day patch.
• 28 Oct 2026, 23:41 UTC — the note titled 29/10 is posted. The title uses the next calendar date; the UTC timestamp is retained without treating a timezone difference as an error. See the news pages.
• 29 Oct 2026 — 1.0.2, the first numbered build in a title.
• 30 Oct 2026 — Hungarian becomes the 18th language; 1.0.4 reworks construction.
• 1 Nov 2026 — 1.0.5 (migration, tariffs), then 1.0.6 and 1.0.7 (arms industry, peace summits, NATO).
• 2 Nov 2026 — two unnumbered updates: troop transfers to bases and a world Production & Trade ledger.

Roadmap, with no calendar

polytale.games/roadmap lists 16 planned additions and says they are not a release schedule. The items named there are cyber attacks, telecoms, deeper trade, more laws, a deeper EU, BRICS, more organisations, covert actions, rebels, leaders and politics, a clearer UI, future tech, space mining, Mars, biological attacks, and an end-of-game summary. No item has a date. I will not assign one.

Some of that list is already moving. 1.0.5 added per-product tariffs and 1.0.6 an arms trade, which touch “deeper trade”; 1.0.7 added NATO applications, which touches “more organisations”. The developer did not mark any roadmap item as done, so I am only noting the overlap.

The same Early Access text says the price will rise as content is added, with notice beforehand. That is a plan, not a new price.
