We'll be having some announcements shortly on the exact release date. SR2030 is in testing but we are currently expecting an end-of-January release date.

Yup, we have some changes to that.

The Supreme Ruler 2030 code base is 97%+ done, and at this point we're working on more content, polishing the GUI, testing, and so on. In prior games we would often plan more content as free updates after release, however Steam is less friendly to that sort of release/update plan this days. For example, our initial plan was to release SR2030 with Sandbox maps and then add Campaigns as a free update post-release, but we've instead decided to finish four Campaigns and include them with launch. So this content work has pushed our release timeline.

We are also taking the opportunity to do more testing and polishing. Players who have been with us through previous games know that we will continue supporting our games long past release (Supreme Ruler Ultimate got free updates for over six years), but now a lot of players expect more on launch day and are less patient for updates. Admittedly a lot of developers abuse that trust and have shipped a lot of day zero crap, so players are justified to be a bit skeptical, and I think that means that we need to be more careful too. We are determined not to be "that guy" that ships a hundred bug fixes in the first week.

We will update you all on the release window when we have it better nailed down, but for now "it will be done when it's done". I mean hey, we've been working on various Supreme Ruler franchise games for 40 years now, so what's a little more time?

We do plan on releasing updates on game features more regularly from now on (developer vlogs etc), so watch for our Steam News Announcements for what's new.

We do have one important request - if you haven't yet, add SR2030 to your Steam Wishlist. Mention it to your strategy-game loving friends to do the same. It helps us a lot. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2093410/Supreme_Ruler_2030/

Thanks as always to all our supporters and Supreme Ruler fans, we're working on making sure we release the best game we possibly can. We'll keep you informed and updated on our development progress, and we hope that you continue to join us for the ride.

Thanks for this amazing response. Waiting is fine and more bug free the gaming experience the better and added on top with more content. Developer vlogs are a great way to introduce us to new features and keep us update to date hope to hear soon from you guys on that.

Le message de la semaine passé indique que la sortie du jeu sera "lorsque c'est prêt". Aucune date officielle en ce moment, le travail continue. On espère créer des vidéos sur YouTube un peu plus souvent pour partager plus de détails.

As per the previous message, no official date set yet.

I have a question. Those of us who have older computers going to be able to play this, when the spec's are so high. I thought you all said that this new game would take that into consideration.

[Chris-BattleGoat]

With the switch to 64 Bit and DirectX 11, the minimum specs had to increase, The specs listed on the store page are our current best estimate and will be reviewed before the full release.

[patriot1776]

I have windows 10, 8 GB Ram, and integrated graphics card and Direct X 11. will this be enough to play this game

[Chris-BattleGoat]

We won't know the exact requirements until we are further into development. Optimizations matter a lot. Also, there are many types of integrated graphics, you'll want to know which one when comparing to the final specs.

[patriot1776]

my graphics are Intel (R) HD graphics

[Chris-BattleGoat]

Which one? There are multiple cards across 12 generations:

I digged a trench ; so now I'm lower than earthworms, on my knees imploring for the God Emperor to provide us with keyboard shortcuts or else all the magnificient features of his divine creation can't be used or appreciated in real time gaming.
