Every figure shows its source. Where a source is missing, the number is a placeholder — and it is never written as fact.

Age-restricted by the publisher, so it cannot be played inside this page — YouTube allows those only on its own site. Nothing is requested from YouTube until you follow the link.

It has aired — the ledger is not written yet

The showing ran on 27 August 2026 and the full 26:49 video is above. An observation on this page carries a timecode or it is not recorded, and nobody here has watched it end to end yet — so the ledger stays empty rather than filling with claims read in someone else’s article. What is below is what could honestly be written in advance, unchanged.

Open questions

  • The map boundaries and the total area.
  • How much of the underwater world is reachable.
  • The economy: property, businesses and prices.
  • How deep vehicle customisation goes, and its limits.
  • Radio stations, licensing and how long the soundtrack runs.
  • The post-launch plan, and when Online arrives.
  • Whether a PC version exists, and on what date.

How we watch

  • An observation carries a timecode or it is not recorded — the schema makes the field required.
  • A frame is graded by what it settles, not by how striking it is.
  • Three effects exist and there is no fourth: it confirms a claim, contradicts one, or opens one.
  • "Visible" is never written as "confirmed" — those are different rows with different grades.
  • Every figure on this page is counted from the ledger, never typed beside it.

Leak status

Circulated 18 August 2026

Gameplay clips and a purported complete map of the state circulated from an outside group.

A fan mapping project that has cross-referenced the geography since 2022 disputes the image, and no published material corroborates it.

The publisher has pursued takedowns of the material.

We report the dispute. The material is not hosted, reproduced or linked from this page, and no claim here rests on it alone.

Reconstruction credit

The community readings on this page are the work of outside projects that have cross-referenced published material for years. Where a row says "community reconstruction", that is theirs, not ours.

We run no mapping project of our own, and this page hosts no reconstruction.

No ownership is claimed over any community work. Each reading is linked to where it was reported.
