We don't have a specific release date, but the game launches at some poiint in 2023 and all you die-hard Tron fans out there can go and wishlist it on Steam right now.
According to the game's Steam page, Tron: Identity is a visual novel adventure that takes place in a new Grid forgotten by its creators and left to evolve on its own. A crime has taken place and it's your job to solve it, defragging the Identity Disc of people around you in order to reveal their memories.

As previously mentioned, Tron: Identity will be developed by Mike Bithell and his team, the creator of several indie titles such as John Wick Hex, Subsurface Circular, and Volume, as well as indie hit Thomas Was Alone. The team's previous titles are also set in sci-fi universes, making Bithell and his crew quite experienced in the genre.
