Let's Guess the Release Date - 12/9/2021 3:20:07 AM

There has been radio silence from Matrix since the fourth of November. Supplies are running low, and my gut aches of feelings too disturbing to make words of. In a desperate attempt to survive, I've organized a thread for us to guess our date of salvation.

Radio silence from the developers tells me release is still a ways away. If this weren't the case, there wouldn't have been a second wave of beta testers, and release certainly wouldn't have been pushed to 2022. And yes, the release is in 2022:

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.


Given this, I suspect the date will likely be near the tail-end of the first quarter. Q1 ends on March 31st, and so my money is betting on a date in March. What date exactly? Well, the most common weekday for video games to release in the United States is Tuesday. There are five Tuesdays in March: the 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th. Again, I'm firmly convinced DW2 still requires some due polishing, and so will be picking from the later Tuesdays in March. This leaves both the 22nd and 29th as possible candidates for a release date. Personally, I think the 29th is too close to Q2 (April 1st), whereas the 22nd sits neatly at the end of Q1 without actually being at the end of Q1.

Therefore, I predict Distant Worlds 2 will release on the 22nd of March, 2022.

What do you say?

Uh, that's a little creepy. I was thinking March 21 before I read your post. It sure looks like the end of Q1 based on what I'm seeing.

As we are talking about DW2, it seems clear that as W is the 23rd letter of the alphabet that it will be released on the 23rd.
D being the fourth letter, would correspond to April - however as April is Q2 it must be the case that we are supposed to subtract the trailing 2 in DW2 from the month - leaving February.
Therefore, obviously it will be released on 23rd of Feb 2022

ABCD -> this is indeed 4
ZYXW -> again a 4

This is all linked to 4, 44...

And, also remember, ncc1701e came back to Earth on April 4th, 2063 to save Earth's first contact with the Vulcan on April 5th, 2063.

I predict DW2 release on April 4th, 2022.

You say for the D it is the 4th letter of the alphabet. So then it must be 23, since the W is the 23rd letter of the alphabet.

So we have the date 04/23/2022

I'm in no hurry since my gaming plate is already overflowing and the more time they get to iron out the wrinkles before release the better.

Did they just announce the release date by accident ? Was watching the SlitherineGames stream today, cant post links but go to youtube slitherinegames - "HoW Live+ | Winter Edition" video and at time 3:12:46 distant worlds 2 release date 10 March 2022 was shown.

Edit: Announced earlier in the stream - guess its official then 10 Match 2022.

It was no accident. They definitely meant to tell us the game is being released March 10.



For those curious, the announcement begins at the 32:35 mark (in the link to the video below):
