The first public release schedule for Race of Life marked the beginning of the game's episodic launch.
Episode 1 was released in stages during September 2022. Higher Patreon tiers received early access first, followed by a free public release.
The launch was accompanied by the first Race of Life trailer and the original version of raceoflifegame.com, which introduced the project, Underground Studio and the game's central concept to a wider audience.
