Wolcen 2 Release Date and Platform Plans

Wolcen 2 is planned to enter Early Access on PC in 2027. The studio has not announced an exact date or a full-release date.

Updated Official sources

Testing, Early Access and full release

These are three separate milestones. An invitation to a closed test is not an Early Access launch, and the 2027 target is not a confirmed date for the finished game.

PC Early AccessPlanned for 2027; no exact date
Full releasePlanned after Early Access; no confirmed date

The Steam release-date field still says the date is to be announced. Its Early Access explanation supplies the target year. These statements describe different levels of precision, not two scheduled launches.

Platforms

The official FAQ identifies PC for Early Access and PC plus current-generation consoles for the full release. It does not name individual console models in that announcement, confirm a console Early Access release, or announce a mobile edition.

For PC preparation, consult the published system requirements. A console plan by itself does not establish cross-platform multiplayer; the multiplayer guide separates announced networking from unknown features.

How long will Early Access last?

The developer estimates roughly 12 months, while explicitly allowing that duration to change. It is a development estimate, not a promise of a 2028 full release. We therefore do not show a countdown to a date the studio has not set.

Where to follow changes

Use the official Steam listing for the current release status and the studio's public announcements for schedule changes. If you want to participate before Early Access, review how playtest applications work; access is limited and not guaranteed.
