From developer Inflexion Games, headed by ex-Bioware general manager Aaryn Flynn, Nightingale is a shared-world survival crafting adventure game with a Victorian, fantasy aesthetic—which means it certainly stands out from other games in similar genres.

The experience of Flynn from his time at Bioware adds further intrigue to the upcoming release, and we’ve got all the details you need to keep tabs on exactly how much longer it is until you can jump into the action.

Nightingale is set to release on Feb. 20 on Steam in early access, with a full launch predicted by developer Inflexion Games nine-to-12 months later.

If you’re looking for a more precise release window for Nightingale, you can use our countdown above to keep tabs on how many weeks, days, hours, minutes, and seconds there are left until you can dive into the action. The countdown is set to 11am CT on Feb. 20, the confirmed time for the early access launch.

While you won’t be able to play the full game earlier than the release date, you can request to join the Nightingale Playtest through Steam and will be notified when the developer is ready for more participants to join. But there is no guarantee you will be selected, and the developer may bring the Playtests to a close ahead of the early access launch.
