Release Date?

Gary Grigsby's World At War gives you the chance to really run a world war. History is yours to write and things may turn out differently. The Western Allies may be conquered by Germany, or Japan may defeat China. With you at the controls, leading the fates of nations and alliances. Take command in this dynamic turn-based game and test strategies that long-past generals and world leaders could only dream of. Now anything is possible in this new strategic offering from Matrix Games and 2 by 3 Games.

Release Date?

Post by genie144 »

Any news on the release date and price? Also is this going to be available in stores or just through the matrix site? Am getting anxious...

I sure hope we get a lot of snow in Feb/Mar. Between this game, Guns of August, and my ongoing WiTP games, I'm gonna need some time away from work...

At the moment (without the opening video), the game is about 320 MB zipped. I don't what else Matrix will add to the download, but this gives you an idea.

Yes, they're off. According to Matrix, it is impossible to get EB to have correct dates. We're working as hard as we can to finish up this month or early next month. I'm not sure what the latest production timeframes are, so I can't say exactly when the game will hit the streets.

I have a friend who works for EB, and have followed a number of games release dates on their site... EB always has the wrong dates, so I am not worried about that :) Besides I would rather have a game that is as complete as possible out of the box, versus one needing instant updates and patches...

Things are going pretty well - from what I'm seen so far. A few major bugs that we are still trying to track down, but otherwise its been pretty rock solid since early Alpha.

It will not be out in the stores by Feb 7. If everything goes well we could be done with the software by then, but you have to add production and shipping time. A more realistic date is late Feb/early March.

Stop adding another MONTH to it Joel! lol Feburary!! say Feburary definitely. ;)

You wouldn't want me to go out and buy HOI 2 instead now would yah? hehe, not that I would, but, it's a nice threat. ;)

Shwerpunkts AGW and GGWAW, and then SC2, what a great year for wargaming, and hopefully the prices will be right on all 3 of them. ;)

I would be surprised if Matrix did not offer a direct download option for the game. However, I know it is going into stores so I don't know for sure what Matrix plans.
