On August 11 2025, the third volume of The Hub was released, announcing that the LongPack team started work on optimizations and adjustments on the figures' 3D models, a process that would continue until August's end. From there, the metal molds used for mass-producing said figures would be created, which is when the factory-printed prototypes would be received. Finally, after those steps were finished, mass production would begin.

On the same day, FLYOS released an update on the game's Kickstarter, providing a full timeline and reporting that the game's delivery had been delayed to April-May 2026. Additionally, the pledge manager's end date was pushed to the end of August.

On August 27 2025, an interview with Maxime Tardif, the co-designer of the game, was released on FLYOS's Journal, talking about different aspects of the development of the board game.

On September 18 2025, the fourth volume of The Hub was released, announcing that the models of the 3D figures had been fully approved and that the pieces had been broken down in preparation for molding. The physical miniatures were expected to arrive by the end of the month, meaning that the figures would be shown off in the next update. The update stated that once the models are approved by FLYOS and Ubisoft, the molding process would continue and mass production would commence afterwards. The update also stated that the game was still on track to start production by the end of the year.
