Release date?

[Riekopo]

Do we have a release date yet for this game? Truly tired of waiting.

When it's ready.

There have been no official release dates for the non-beta 1.0 release yet.

[AROCK!!!]

it's fine now. I DLed it last night and played several hours without any issues.

I think that it was 22 Feb 2020

I strongly advise getting a life. Must be boring sitting around completely useless doing nothing but waiting for a game.

But when will 1.5 be ready. I'm waiting for the gameplay refinements.

Not until months after release.

Even though I am quoting a segment that got changed over the time of development, they only officially said that it will be out in early 2020.

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?
“The full game, including the Xen levels, is available now!

We plan on doing a complete pass on the whole game for bugs and polish, then we will release out of Early Access. Targeting early 2020.

Soon (TM)”

The mid of 2020 would start in June, so there is still plenty of time to meet their announcement.

May would be close to the mid of 2020, but I still go on early 2020 with that one.
Hell I can't even believe it's the end of February again.

Like tomorrow is Christmas again.


Don't know what you guys do, but I have a dayjob and lots of other interests than waiting for Black Mesa's final release like crazy. XD
Furthermore, I won't even go for V1.0 but rather V1.5 Definitive Edition.

That said, it's the (current) release date for their V1.0.

Yet they previously announced a V1.5 called the "Definitive Edition". No one knows when that one comes, but I still hope for this year.

They said they jokingly referred to 1.5 as the definitive edition. It won't actually be a definitive edition.

They stated that it will simply be an update that tunes very minor rough spots and art, nothing large. It won't be as big as tuning art for Earthbound in 1.0, just very minor things.

They jokingly called their Source Engine the "Frankengine" or "Franken-Engine".
The name still sticks.

We jokingly call this Black Mesa: Definitive Edition, but don’t worry, it will not be any type of re-release or paid content. After 1.0 we will take a few months to go through the game, identify rough spots, and polish the art on Earth and Xen. We’d also like to continue to improve the workshop and organize team and community events to document as much as we can about the Source engine and how to best use it. We don’t have a scope for these events yet, but after years of loving/hating/fixing/breaking the Source engine, we would love to help others get information and solve problems.

I call it Definitive Edition, similar as I call it Franken-Engine.


And as far as I can read, it sounds very promising, especially the WorkShop part. :)
