unreleased

Not yet public

Unreleased describes something created but not yet made available to the public.

An unreleased album sits in the vault; unreleased footage never made the final cut.

The term implies the thing exists and could be released but hasn't been—whether by choice, circumstance, or indefinite delay: Fans discovered unreleased tracks after the artist's death.
