While there is no set release date, a P2CE developer has stated that the release target is "within 2 years" of July 2024, as they don't want to keep people from using it any longer than they have.{{Cite|1}} They also hope that the project will enter an open beta state "within 1 year", as at that time hammer wouldn't be necessary to play the game due to both the offical and community made campaigns and standalone maps.{{citation needed}}
