There are only 5 out of 9 areas, called Biomes, currently in the game, so a bit over half of the world completed, and since it hit steam in Feb of last year, no new biomes have been added... Not only is this game NOT going to be finished "early 2022" I would be shocked if it was ready for release by 2023.

These developers have said all along that they are going to work on it slow and steady, trying to do things RIGHT, not fast and broken.

Whatever blog you read was waaaaaay off the mark if they said it was going to "full launch" in early 2022.

As for price... nobody here knows the answer to that question.
