We're hoping to see it launch possibly in early development this year or in 2022 but that's just being hopeful.

According to the FAQ, it won't be a free-to-play game.
The team will release free content updates over time and there could even be some DLCs.

So far we haven't seen much in terms of gameplay.
Although, the below video gives an idea to player of just how in-depth the team are going in terms of what Parafolk can do.

The game has been confirmed for release on Steam for PC and Mac.
According to the FAQ page, at the moment there are no plans to bring the game to console.
The question "Will Paralives be available on consoles?" is listed.
They responded with "There are no plans for console versions at the moment."
Hopefully, these plans will change in the future.
