West Wood Remake Release Window
August 21, 2026 launch confirmed by A_L Studios and BloxInformer.
West Wood: Remake launched on August 21, 2026 at 3:00 am UTC-4, according to the A_L Studios release date trailer and corroborated by BloxInformer’s tracker entry. This page consolidates the verified public sources so players searching for “West Wood release date” or “West Wood remake launch” land on a single canonical answer rather than scattered TikTok clips.
Verified launch sources
Three independent sources confirm the August 21, 2026 window:
- A_L Studios release date trailer — youtube.com/watch?v=enowc6NrkBQ — explicitly states “RELEASING AUGUST 21ST”.
- BloxInformer tracker — bloxinformer.com/upcoming-roblox-games/west-wood-remake/ — published the same date with a countdown widget that flipped to “Released!” on launch day.
- Official Roblox Games API — the Place 109129552698918 universe (10598641427) shows last-updated timestamps beginning August 24, 2026, consistent with a release window opening in the prior week.
The A_L Studios channel is the developer-run account: “Hello! Welcome to the A_L Studios youtube account. This is used for leaks, trailers, and more. Current Developers: AluminumCrab and Logainer (BobaFett237).” Treat that channel as the authoritative voice for launch announcements.
Place and universe IDs
Two distinct Place IDs matter for the West Wood family:
- Original West Wood — Place ID 15268511127, Universe ID 5265348926. Created by West Wood Group.
- West Wood: Remake — Place ID 109129552698918, Universe ID 10598641427. Same developer group.
These are two different experiences. Badges, items, and reputation are tracked per universe and do not transfer. Some original-place badges may have Remake equivalents (Welcome Back was added to bridge veteran recognition), but the wiki cannot promise broad progress transfer until the developer confirms.
What changed since the original
The Remake is described by the developer team as a reimagining rather than a remaster. Confirmed and visible changes from community playthroughs:
- New HUD with health, stamina, hunger, thirst, weight, and reputation bars visible at the same time.
- Multi-view security camera system inside selected buildings.
- Updated creature (Jerry the Wendigo) model and behaviour for more aggressive night phases.
- Reputation LVL gating on certain shop and dealer purchases.
- A contract loop and night delivery mechanic that match the Contracts and Night Deliveries structures in the original.
These are observations from TheKacperosEN’s 53:45 Remake session and the A_L Studios sneak peek videos, not a developer changelog.
Post-Release Patch
As of August 27, 2026, the official Roblox description shows the version string Post-Release Patch on the Remake place. No itemized first-party changelog has been published for this version. The Post-Release Patch label and the 2026-08-24 API updated timestamp are confirmed by the badge endpoint.
Players monitoring future changes should watch Patch Notes and the badge API together — new badges or new badge IDs are the most reliable near-real-time signal that the developer shipped a change.
Developer team
The West Wood Group credits — published in the official description and confirmed by the A_L Studios channel — list:
