Status: offline 		Jim Wirth ("jaw") says the summer of 2010 is the current projected release date.  So let's hope for June 22nd, the anniversary of Barbarossa!

That being said, we have waited many years for the successor to WiR, so it's worth waiting as long as it takes to create a great game!

You're kidding, right? I'm surprised how few of these threads we've seen yet.

Unless Matrix want to enforce a fix date, any date given will be meaningless and bring resentment. Let them give us a date when they are ready to take pre-order, before it is pointless.

Status: offline 		I was asking for an approximate release date,allow me to clarify I didnt mean an exact date but was wondering if it will be released in spring,summer or when ever.I agree they should take their time with testing etc.Unlike a recent title from another company that should not have been released and I shall not name,but some might know what title I am referring to

Sarge, if Matrix didn't want us speculating about release dates, they wouldn't set up a forum in the first place.

Matrix doesn't do pre-orders. They'll give you the date when it's available for purchase.

Status: offline 		I would rather wait longer for better, and as someone has already pointed out, dates in game development are meanless.  We have a rough time frame, Summer of 2010, but if they need longer that is fine by me.  This is THE GAME I am waiting on.

Status: offline 		We think we have the supply historical now. Theres still alot of research being done on production issues and scenarios. Guys relax, we don't want to put out a game like Second Front that was rushed. Matrix was a little hasty in anouncing its coming... Joel said we can give more screen shots, so after the holiday I plan to post some. Remember were still in alpha, and every week it changes for the better.

Status: offline 		Damn I've been waiting for this to come out the day after I bought WIR which I bought they day it was released, what year and day was that BTW? Been too long though!

Finally, just hoping it comes in at the level of WITP_AE no doubt! No reason why it shouldnt?

Since it may be another 15 years or so until a WITE2 comes out I hope you guys do this one up big time!

Later!

Status: offline 		Well the one thing I will say, this is a much more user friendly and free flowing game than WitP. I not saying this is not as historical, theres just to much in WitP to keep up with to make it real fun. This game is so much fun, and I've been testing it now for 20 months, and I'm not burnt out yet... It was a good week with additions and bug corrections, and we do it every week... Whatever the cost is at book signing day, pay the price, you won't regreat it...

The SSI copy-write date for the WIR Manual is 1993, but I bought an earlier version for the Atari during the 1980s, which shows how good it is, still on the hard-drive, still working.

I too am a huge WIR fan and I can tell you that WiTE is worth the wait! If you loved WIR but wanted more, this is the game for you.. still learning the ropes but I am truly having a lot of fun with it.

I have an even better idea- how's June 22, 2041 and $3000 cash!

Congrats on Atari for being one of the very few companies who could get certain games to be officially completed on the original expected completion dates.  However, sadly we all found out how HORRIBLE titles like their E.T. flagship really turned out to be.

Big lesson learned there.  Please keep things in beta as long as it takes, I certainly don't want another Axis&Allies Iron-****z episode to go through again either.

June 22nd just happens to be a Tuesday, the day of the week when new games are released.
