Four things missing
No release date post. No price announcement. No demo announcement. No delay post. No patch notes, because there is nothing released to patch.
The list has one press item, the November entry, which is a Russian outlet covering the game rather than the studio writing. It is included for completeness, not treated as a studio statement.
Reading the shape of it
Twenty posts over eleven months, and the shape is consistent: one topic per post, screenshots or GIFs, a wishlist link at the end. A studio building an audience before launch, not announcing a finished thing.
The three posts with the most substance for players are the enemy roster (28 Feb), the animation breakdown (19 Mar), and the two stances (1 Oct). Each has its own page on this site.
Next post lands here
The Steam store page carries the news feed, and it is the only place the studio posts. There is no separate blog on wattstudio.art for this game.
The release window these posts sit inside is here.
