Status: offline 		I heard a rumour that Distant Worlds 2 was slated for either a June or July release - and then I heard a rumour a while later that release was delayed. Itching to get my hands on this title, it is highly anticipated, so wondering when we might expect it to hit the store so the wallet can be opened?

Since they just started closed beta testing and they anticipate several waves of testing and afaik they are still on the first or second wave then it would be a safe bet it will either be a late holiday release or early 2022.

The fact there isn't a wink of any marketing around this game kinda implies that opinion.

There was barely a wink of marketing at all with DW1. Same with the expansions.

You are probably right, they ether have a ton of issues or some mechanic didn't resonate well with the beta community and they are fixing it.
Or... they are reimplementing orbiting planets and its just taking them a while to do it.

The only thing we know is that the Beta started a few months ago and they have said that the game are to be released sometimes this year if things goes according to plan.

That is it, that is all we know...

They posted a release schedule in a video, didn't they?

Edit: Yes they did:

So basically they preliminary said around July... which obviously would not be odd if it slip a few months as is common for most release schedules of most games. So sometimes late summer or early fall at the earliest is my guess from that information.

As far as I know there is no information available about the beta testing or how that progress in any detail.

The official release is now set for July 15 which is a couple of months delay. I would not be surprised if DW2 slipped 2-3 months. Gods would I love a July release though.
