After the unlock
Asked for a roadmap, the developer said the order is bug fixing first, then the Switch port and patches. No feature list beyond that was attached. A launch version number is not printed on the pages checked here. When a patch note names a class change, the classes table should gain a row in its history rather than a silent edit. This page is the index those rows would cite.
Questions
Is there a day-one patch?
No patch note was public on the morning of 5 Nov 2026. The last pre-launch post is the 3 Nov countdown.
What happens after release?
The developer said bugs first, then the Switch port and further patches.
