Off The Grid moves GUNZ mainnet to its 1.0 launch, with release now set for late December to mid-January - eGamers.io
Gunzilla Games has rescheduled the release of Off The Grid 1.0 to between December 27 and January 15, with the GUNZ mainnet migration now planned to coincide with the game launch instead of occurring separately in September.
The original roadmap had targeted October for the game's release and September for the mainnet migration. This second change is particularly significant, as the blockchain transition was initially planned to precede the game launch. According to Gunzilla's Road to 1.0 progress report, items will maintain their serial numbers during the move to mainnet, ensuring players retain what they've already earned.
Delayed Ownership
Full onchain ownership has been postponed until launch day, with no early access. Legendary Weapons also remain on hold, suggesting the studio prioritizes a stable in-game economy over meeting deadlines. This approach may reassure item holders, though it indicates how much of the game is still being refined.
Coordinated Launch Strategy
Launching both simultaneously concentrates marketing efforts and ensures newcomers arrive when the economy goes fully onchain. The alternative would have been a quieter migration targeting only existing players. However, this unified approach creates interdependence—if either launch encounters problems, it could negatively impact the other.
Outstanding Questions
Two key uncertainties remain: whether Gunzilla will narrow the release window to a specific date and how clearly the studio will communicate migration steps to players before launch. The company hasn't yet addressed these points, leaving potential users waiting for more details.
