We heard you loud and clear asking for updates on the DW2 release, and we assure you that DW2 is almost ready.

At the moment we don’t have a release date, but we can tell you that it will be in Q1 2022. The official date will be revealed in the upcoming months so stay tuned to find out more.

In the meantime, we invite you to join the new wave of beta testing that will open in the next few days

To sign up, head to Matrix's beta signup page and submit your application!

Also I've already sent my Beta application but is what Marco said during the Tea time stream true? Because if so lucky me

Just to update this, having my password reset and changed fixed this. Apparently the site was confused about what my password was supposed to be, so I could log into the forum but not anything else. So yay, applied successfully!

This is what I put in the - About yourself section
I have the original Distant Worlds on CD, not DVD. CD. 650MB storage space compact disks. When the advent of Steam started and digital distribution became normal, when each Distant Worlds expansion came out I always selected to also purchase a physical copy. Distant Worlds has been the core of my space 4x love affair and is regularly played. BaconMod & RetreatUE are my staples. I have been checking and re-checking the Distant Worlds forums (even when it was on the old CodeForce website) for years waiting for news. Very excited, long term fan. Looking forward to Distant Worlds 2.

You have already applied for this beta.

Oh no, please, do not forget me in this beta!

Status: offline 		Im thinking in silence about what i could possibly do to increase my chances to be selected. Since i know the game is only coming next year the emptiness is growing inside. I really dont want to wait till next year, even with the new battlefield coming i know i will be longing for this game.

I played dwu today but knowing that dw2 is coming and how amazing it is gonna be... so basically they ruined dwu but i have no access to dw2. In fact even playing stellaris just does not cut it anymore. I dont know what i should do so im just hoping that 1 day ill get an email so i can try dw2. The limited gameplay footage we have is also not helping, i have so many questions, at least watching some gameplay would help, even if its not as good as discovering the game for myself. That first playthrough is always so immersive when you contemplate your choices, more focus on discovery, you read every text.

So buttom line i cant take it anymore. Fingers crossed and if all else fails i hope the game comes in january the latest and its gonna be at least half as amazing as i imagine. Then i dont think ill need other games on my pc hahaha

I am getting my head around it arriving any sooner being a bonus, and getting into beta a super dooper bonus. That way I won't be disappointed.

TBH, RgZera I doubt there is any way of increasing chances - I bet they have thousands of applicants and just have to get a cross-section.

Posting here does relieve some tension though. Maybe we need an off-topic forum game thread or something to post in meanwhile - a waiting room thread, or pub thread, so people subscribed to this one don't keep getting e-mail notifications every time someone like me posts out of frustration....


Edit - dang it I went and did it...
