Full release next year, Wine Fork + fex core and many good things, no bottleneck of any kind. Vulkan 1.1 minimum. Cassia Windows Emu is being developed by Mark and Bylaws, while Strato is the continuation of Skyline by Lynx and TheASV.

Might be serious potential for an Android handheld to rival the Steam Deck. Any whispers about a release date for this or open sourcing?

Wine fork will be open source, the frontend will be closed source for a while. No release date yet, only year.

frontend will be closed source for a while

To prevent malicious forks of the app like Skyline by mr purple. All is there on Cassia Discord Server with renewed FAQ section.

Discord? What, did nobody have an Xfire room? That doesn't inspire confidence.

Ootl but why is Skyline by mr purple counts as a malicious fork?

It'll take more than just a compatibility layer for it to even come close to competing with the Steam Deck, or just Proton in general, IMHO.
