I am not positive what stage it is in technical terms (alpha, beta, etc.) but seeing as the game is due out early next year, it is safe to assume that the game is nearing completion. This means that the team is probably spending the majority of their time testing all aspects of the game while finalizing specific game mechanics and story elements.
