The story so far

|---|---|
| Jul 21, 2025 | Refugium Games announces the game; target window Q1 2026; PC and consoles named from day one |

The watch list
What’s still open, in the order it’s likely to break:
- Launch reviews — the big one. Reviews sat at zero before unlock, and July previews were rough, so the first few hundred player reviews are the real verdict on whether the build got cleaned up.
- Steam Deck rating — unrated at launch; Valve usually posts a badge within days. Tracked on platforms.
- ESRB verdict — still Rating Pending; tracked on age rating.
- Console date — Perp Games owes us a PS5/Xbox day and a console price; tracked on platforms.
- Day-one patch and post-launch fixes — nothing announced; indie launches usually patch fast.
- Cast, tracklist and band mechanics — credits and in-game details should become verifiable now that players have the game. Tracked on characters, soundtrack and the band.
Answered since last update: the game shipped on time on August 12 at 4:00 PM UTC, at $26.99 with the 10% discount applied. The studio’s response came fast: the first patch shipped August 13, one day after launch — music minigames made easier to pass, plus “lots of smaller issues” fixed. The review score has ticked from 30.5% to 33% since (reviews). What to watch now: patch cadence, and whether the score keeps climbing.
Our read
Refugium Games reportedly started as a one-person project in 2023 and grew from there — so expect launch-window patching to behave like an indie, not a AAA live service. The complete-story framing (32 missions, two endings, 8–10 hours) suggests the roadmap after launch is fixes, not seasons. If that changes, this page changes first.

FAQ
Was Agefield High delayed from its original date?
Yes. The July 2025 announcement targeted Q1 2026; the date eventually landed on August 12, 2026 via the July 2026 release date trailer. One slip, publicly handled.
When do the PS5 and Xbox versions arrive?
'Later in 2026' is all Perp Games has said (announced April 2026). No date, no month. This page updates the day that changes.
Is there DLC or a post-launch roadmap?
Nothing announced. Refugium Games has framed the game as a complete story — 32 missions, two endings — with no season pass or update roadmap published.
