rumours about release

[Greyling]

are there any rumours about the release date?

[FroBodine]

I guess not.

I don't understand why the developers are so silent. You think they would be posting updates here to gather excitement about the game and bring in more customers.

im grateful to all dev/pub that dont make a fuss around the game as long as its not ready anyway, but i am curious what they are aiming for.

what does "release date to be announced" mean in Steam terminology? perhaps it means the devs are too far away from having a v1.0 product to be able to give an estimated release date, so maybe its 2 or 3 years off releasing? i guess if dev is silent then it prob means nothing is imminent. or else they spent the marketing budget on optimisation instead

my curiosity is stemming from exactly what you mentioned, it could very well be 2-3 years off and i dont like the idea to stay in uninformed anticipation for that long! im just here trying to manage ;P
i know they have to be cautious about talking release dates, as these can be somewhat legaly binding, so probably even valve wont let them wildly throw official estimates just how they like, i get that.
and thats just why i was wondering if someone picked something up along the lines of "right now, we're aiming for QX202X" in some devblog, stream, interview or whatever, just to get a rough idea and, hopefully, falsify our 2-to-3-years-theory. however, if they need this time, thats also perfectly fine. just would like to know.

By a coincidence I was just reading this article on the game, and it claims "Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus 2 is planned to be released in 2025 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S." So rejoice! Technically less than a year left! (Unless they have to delay)

Looks good. My only worry is games that come out day one for PC and consoles means the game was built for consoles and there's usually a long road to making them play well on PC.

The first one was PC only I believe so it worked fine.

I'd expect a tactics game like this to come out simultaneously on PC and consoles, just because it seems like the natural home for it. Here's hoping.

I should also note that that website I linked to above is the ONLY place I saw the 2025 release date so far, so maybe we should take that with a little grain of salt.
