| Patch v1.2 | 2026-04-01 | An Esoteric Thank YouIt hasn't even been a month yet. Mentally, I think my mind has already settled on it like it was years ago. Esoteric Ebb released on March 3rd 2026. Since then, I've mostly been focused on plugging the last remaining holes, and now with 1.2 out, I'm really happy with the state of things. There's probably a few wacky exploits left, and a ton of potential improvements to my spaghetti code systems, but this is it. This will be the last major patch for a while.Now, Esoteric Ebb isn't exactly a live service game, so it obviously doesn't have a roadmap. And truth be told, I wouldn't be able to produce one for you. A term I lear |

| Esoteric Ebb is releasing on MARCH 3rd 2026 | 2026-02-25 | Esoteric Ebb is releasing on March 3rd 2026. You heard me. It's out in just a few days.Oscar Westberg's illustration above accurately depicts how I'm feeling right now. We're all barreling through the streets of Norvik, soaring and crashing our way to the finish line. And it's been one hell of a journey.I didn't expect Ebb to be this huge. Since I'm doing all the writing and design solo, it was always a question of pacing myself - to make sure I didn't bite off too much of that wonderful CRPG sandwich. However, I did not pace myself.
