Steam build review queue delays Australia Did It launch past 10 November
Publisher Mystic Forge says the game has waited weeks for approval of its launch build, after a controller fault failed the first submission.
Key takeaways
- Australia Did It missed its planned 10 November 2026 release while Steam reviews its launch build.
- Publisher Mystic Forge said the wait has lasted a few weeks with no date for approval.
- Co-developer Rami Ismail said the build was first submitted on 20 October and failed on a minor controller issue.
- Mystic Forge said it will announce a new launch date once Steam responds.
A missed release date
A post-apocalyptic railway defense game called Australia Did It: End-of-the-World Railway Defense Business did not launch on 10 November 2026 as planned. Its publisher, Mystic Forge, said the title is waiting on Steam's mandatory quality review of the launch build before it can be published.
In an update to players, Mystic Forge wrote that the studio has been waiting a few weeks and does not know when the platform will process the build. The publisher said it hopes to release the game as soon as possible and will post again when it hears from Steam.
Why the build was rejected once
Rami Ismail, a co-developer and game designer on the project, said the build was submitted on 20 October. A minor controller issue caused it to fail review, according to his account.
The game itself is about keeping a cargo railway running after society has collapsed. It is not the first title to be held up by the platform's build approval process, which studios must pass before a game can go live.
No new date yet
Mystic Forge has not given a replacement launch date. The publisher said it would share an update as soon as Steam provides one, and apologized to players for the delay.
Steam has not publicly commented on the backlog or on this specific submission. It is not known how many other games are currently waiting in the same queue.
