Time of full release?

[Soulreaver]

Hey guys,

I realy liked my time at portia but I generaly only play games after full release. Is there a roadmap with a estimated full release for my time at sandrock?

[rinofwater]

The initial estimate was for the full version to be finished somewhere around mid-2023, but it's nothing set in stone

Well thats something atleast.

So the real full release will probably be end of 23/beginning 24.

Since EA announcement there ware multiple dates and all went down so far. The current roadmap only talks about act 2 of 3 in december (got busted a few days ago because of a new covid breakout) and the former roadmap had the full content scheduled for march 2023 which seems to be void.

The road map never mentioned the full game by March 2023.

This is a copy of the old road map.

They hope to release the full game in 2023, yes. Not by March.

that will be pushed back weeks/months, depending on how long their lockdown lasts.

That's why I said it was an initial estimate but not set in stone :)

I made the mistake and have been playing for a few hours. But I want to play the whole game. I guess I have to play MTAT again until next year :o

I recall the devs hoping for maybe a late 1st quarter 2023 timeframe for full release. That would line up considering the early access was originally supposed to start back in like March or April of this year but got pushed back like 3 months due to a delay in certification.

Devs gave me the impression that they wanted sandrock to follow a similar 1 year early access dev cycle that MTAP had before full release and it largely seems to be following that.

Early Access got pushed back more than half a year. Kickstarters got the first under-NDA version in very early 2021. Early Access should have been in Spring 2021 but that plan crashed because of covid + China not authorizing the release of any video games for 9 months flat. On the plus side that meant that the Early Access version people got to see was a lot better than it would have been otherwise since a lot of stuff got changed during that time. Both due to kickstarter feedback and because they got time to improve on a lot of temporary graphics.

Also covid lockdowns didn't help development work, Chonqing has been under lockdown numerous times including now.

The devs have said that the single player version's story will have three acts. Currently we've seen Act 1 and - guessing based on the playtime - probably half of Act 2. And the scope of the game has been expanded because fans wanted to be able to romance a huge number of people in the game, those will all need some kind of individual stories.
