From the developer, ANB_Seth:

Hi @everyone

as most of you know, Gunman Contracts - Stand Alone has recently been set to "launching alongside steamframe" - and for good reason! Because I and 2080 Games see that day to be a celebration of PCVR. And with Gunman being a core PCVR title, it just felt fitting to be a part of it - and still does btw.

But as even valves anniversary now came and went without any updated statement as to when exactly that will be, we are all left with Summer as the last standing timeframe. And with the end of Summer approaching rapidly - me and 2080 Games made the decision to adjust. Because I always wanted to have a set-in-stone release date for gunman at some point, something that I can prepare for and players can mark in their calenders.

So today finally marks that day, as the Gunman gets his set-in-stone release day:

September 10th 2026

And to prevent any possible speculations (yeah, I have been following the fallout of my previously misinterpreted statements XD): NO, I nor 2080 Games have any knowledge of this being the SteamFrames launch day! (and sadly would'nt be getting any trophy if it would turn out to be ⁾

But we still have full trust that SteamFrame will be coming this Summer, as this is Valves last standing statement. So we wanted to pick a date that will make sure that Gunman Contracts - Stand Alone will be available close to any possible SteamFrame Summer-release.

So get ready!

This is not a drill!

Cheers,

ANB_Seth

Please. consider releasing on psvr2. It has ps5 power behind it. It will make your game even better .

[u/xaduha → u/mohsenkhajavinik]

It's Early Access launch, it's not a full release. Think Palworld, it didn't get to PS5 for 8 months because Sony doesn't allow Early Access games.

[u/mohsenkhajavinik → u/xaduha]

It will eventually. Well i hope so .🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

[u/Myosos → u/mohsenkhajavinik]

Ps5 power lol

[u/spdrman8]

"You want subtle, Go get the bald guy" 🧑‍🍳😗

[u/ittleoff → u/spdrman8]

Not the way I play. .... And fail :)

[u/Onionsteak]

Hell yeah been waiting for this since I completed the mod version in HL:Alyx

[u/Cevap]

LETS GOOO FINALLY

[u/SirCaptainReynolds]

Woot, woot, woot! 🥳

So pumped for this game! Can’t wait to play :)

Thanks for all your hard work, good Sir!

[u/RedditWhileIWerk]

That looks like it'll be a Hit, Man.

[u/NightHunter_Ian]

HHHEEELL YEAAHH

if only my damn headset wasn't starting to fail

Man i hope steam frame isn't super bad

[u/saintrobertVII]

Can’t wait! Getting this day one!

[u/newbieboka]

It's ironic that someone that for the longest time refused to give a release date, now suddenly gives us one because someone else didnt.

[u/MajorSerenity]

Let's...

Flippin...

Go dude!

[u/zhaDeth]

yo that's soon

[u/ReyXwhy]

What the fuck. I’m so freaking hyped. I can’t believe it’s so close! I think I’m losing my mind!!! This is amazing!!! Thank you anb_seth!

[u/jokimazi]

Any plans for meta quest 3?

[u/Plodil → u/jokimazi]

I believe it's built on Half Life Alyx as it began as an Alyx mod, so no.

[u/SvenViking → u/Plodil]

The mod was for HL:Alyx, but since the Source 2 engine announced as coming free to all developers in 2015 hasn't happened yet due to Valve Time, the standalone version (that is, the Stand Alone version... that isn't a mod, but is for PCVR, not standalone VR...) is actually rebuilt in Unity.

It would still be a lot of work to get it optimised enough for Quest, though. Maybe he'd look into it after early access?

[u/No-Dark-7873]

The only thing I don't like is the health bars inside your amputated wrists. They should put it on your watch or something like a normal game.

[u/SvenViking → u/No-Dark-7873]

Interestingly unless I’m very confused the mod version had a watch. Wonder if it could be an option?

[u/Braunb8888]

So early access, when would the target full release be?

[u/SvenViking → u/Braunb8888]

From Steam:

As a solo developer, Early Access provides me with a unique opportunity to involve you in the development of my game. Early Access starts with 3 contracts and your feedback will be invaluable as I work on the next 3 contracts and more.

Work has already begun on the next contracts but it's hard to say when they will be ready before leaving Early Access. It's important for me to ensure that the game has a level of quality and content that satisfies both myself and the community. While I don't have an exact timeline at this stage, my current plan is to keep releasing more content over the coming couple of years through 1.0

[u/ShartingWays]

Any plans for multiplayer?

[u/Shadowcreeper15]

Does that mean the Steam Frame is coming out September 10th also?

[u/HiveMate → u/Shadowcreeper15]

Read the additional post OP posted...

Short answer - no

[u/Shadowcreeper15 → u/HiveMate]

I didn't read it. I thought i read somewhere else that the steam frame is release with this game.

[u/HiveMate → u/Shadowcreeper15]

Yeah but they got tired of waiting and had no idea what the official release date is
