Roadmap discipline
The captured feed does not provide a reliable full-launch roadmap with guaranteed dates. This page separates shipped changes from future direction. When an official roadmap appears, archive it, record the announcement date, and distinguish committed work from exploration.
How this page is updated
Refresh the Steam news API, identify official Unknown Worlds records, and preserve syndicated media reports as secondary evidence. Version-stamp every feature and remove claims that a later patch changes. The checked date exists so readers can see whether the tracker is fresh.
