Gunzilla Games is targeting a 1.0 release window of December 27 to January 15 for Off The Grid. That is later than the October target the studio set in its 2026 roadmap. The bigger change is that the GUNZ mainnet migration, originally planned for September, will now ship alongside 1.0 instead of ahead of it.
What changes for players
Gunzilla’s Road to 1.0 progress report says items will carry their serial numbers over to mainnet, so items players have already earned should move with them. Full onchain ownership is now further off. It arrives on launch day, not before it.
Legendary Weapons are also still on hold. Holding back a headline item suggests the studio is putting the in-game economy ahead of hitting a date. That should reassure anyone holding items, but it also shows how much of the game is still being tuned.
The case for launching both at once
One big launch moment puts all the attention in one place. If the marketing push works, new players arrive just as the economy goes fully onchain. The alternative was a quiet migration for an audience that is already playing.
The risk
The migration and the launch now depend on each other. A rough launch week could drag the mainnet rollout down with it, and a problem with the migration could overshadow the game itself.
What to watch before launch
Two things are still open: whether Gunzilla narrows the window to a firm date, and how clearly it explains the migration steps to players before 1.0 goes live.
