Direct Answer
Selected Core Group Test #2 participants will receive new keys and instructions by email. There is no announced public retail-key sale or unrestricted giveaway.
Confirmed
Current Status
The October schedule names contact@oceandrive.studio as the sender and says keys will be emailed after applications close. Existing testers also receive new keys for the changed test application. Check your inbox and spam folder; selection is not guaranteed. 1 2
New Keys for the Co-op Application
September's recruitment notice says both returning Core Group members and newly selected testers receive new keys because the build moves to a different application. October's schedule confirms delivery after sign-up closes and identifies the sender email. These are selected-player test keys, not a retail offer or permanent full-game entitlement. Check official delivery instructions and your spam folder; a saved June beta key does not establish current access. 3 4
