Release tracker
Early Access (as Fractured: Conquest)
Happy Cauldron's rebooted, PvP-warfare-focused relaunch is running phased alpha playtests — a 24-hour test on September 3 followed the cut-short July 23 session — ahead of a planned buy-to-play Early Access. The studio hopes to be in a solid state for Early Access by the end of 2026 but has committed to no date.
