"While we do not have a set date for a full release at this moment in time, we expect that the game will be in early access for around a year. Our focus is on ensuring that the game is fun and enjoyable rather than imposing a deadline that might have a negative impact on the final product."
Take from that what you will, but I think we are still on track and can stand by this statement. If it takes longer than a year, it takes longer, and ultimately, the game will be ready when it is ready. But you shouldn't for one moment think that we will just be fixing bugs and then call it a day when some self-imposed timer is up.

Out of interest, is the original plan(roughly 1 year in EA) still within sight or can we expect this to be a bit longer, or even on indefinite hold. Considering that the next time Bannerlord will receive a massive influx of players is on full release, it could be critical that the game is in an agreeable state then. (Before you hit me with the “game will be supported even after release”
)
I think the aim is still to meet that target, or thereabouts. But of course, we will delay the full release if the game isn't ready at that point.
