Vendetta - Curse of Raven's Cry - Release Date announced!

[Raidor [dph]]

+++ Vendetta: Curse of Raven's Cry to arrive on the 20th of November 2015 +++

Pirates! Whispered rumors spread faster in the Caribbean than scurvy on the seven seas. Today we received an urgent warning, and its contents have been confirmed; anti-hero Christopher Raven and his deadly crew have been sighted spreading fear and violence across the open world of the Caribbean in the upcoming action-adventure RPG, Vendetta: Curse of Raven's Cry!
Vendetta: Curse of Raven's Cry takes players on an epic adventure featuring the dread pirate Captain Christopher Raven as he scours the Caribbean on a quest for revenge. Cut, sail, slash and shoot your way across the Antilles, from pirate hideouts to unexplored savage islands and sprawling plantations. Make choices ranging from the moral to the monstrous, while you walk the razor’s edge between gaining your revenge and becoming the very thing you’re hunting.
With over 50 hours of playing time, 120 minutes of cinematic video recordings and new quests and voice-over work, Christopher Raven’s ship is loaded for war like never before. Don’t worry, Christopher Raven will leave no brother of the coast behind! Those who took to the seas with Christopher in Raven’s Cry will receive a free upgrade to Vendetta: Curse of Raven's Cry from the Captain himself.

Thats great, so you are out of the buggtesting phase and the game is ready to be shipped? Or do you still have stuff to do?

[Raidor [dph]]

We have some stuff to do, but nothing which cannot be done savely until release.

So your team have done everything which they can with the game , that means the game will be bug free and it will have the VO ready and lipsync implemented ?

Good news

[Wobb the Great and Terrible!!!!!]

Was there really any reason given for releasing it in such a horrific state in the first place though?
I mean I get all that "cursed development" and all that.... but why release it then? Surely you KNEW how bad it was? I mean you played it right?
So why release it when you did, if you knew you needed at least another 6 months to go back and re-record voice acting, fix bugs, make the game into.... you know.... a game.
Without a valid reason for doing that in the first place, you won't convince many people who bought this game that you are on the level.
The only way you can really expect people to get behind you, believe you, and even beging to trust you, is to just be honest. Not hiding your honesty behind smartly worded statements and marketing spiel, but just being downright honest.

Greeaaat news ;) But will just the steam version be released on november 20th or also the retail boxes? Please say the retail boxes! Pleeeaaase :D I can't wait any longer!

EDIT: I read it on the webiste :( But why? Was it to hard to produce some discs in that long time? And a day one patch on november 20th is better then waiting until Q1 2016! This makes no sense at all for me. Many games in the past were released for pc first and later for the consoles so I don't understand this argument: "We want to release the retail version not before the PS4 version." Please clarify!

The pre-order page mentions 'PC | Mac' - can I assume from this that the Linux version will not be ready at launch?

Goooooooooooood. Not too early, not too late IMO.

Hopefully I'll finish FO4 by 20th. ;)

Today it makes no sense to release a retail PC version without any console version at the same time. This is not a question of the customers, this is a problem from the retailers.

Do steam users who own the game get the game automatically?
