We just returned from an International European press event in Varese, Italy, organised by Slitherine/Matrix to show a few of the upcoming games to the media.

We showed Panzer Corps and Commander: The Great War more in detail and in person to some specialized international wargaming journalists and game media.

Thanks to Slitherine and the attending journalists. Stay tuned for features, previews and new screenshots!

An American equivalent is also planned later this year I believe, but Commander: The Great War is releasing this summer.

I leave the release date of Commander: The Great War to our publisher to announce, probably end of April, when we have planned to go into official Beta, it is the best time to announce the exact date.

It will be done when it is done. The game was just announced way too soon, a mistake we have learned from. ;-)

The main reason for the delay: we decided to finish Panzer Corps first, however Panzer Corps is finished form our side, so we are now in full gear finishing CTGW.

In 3 weeks time we start public Beta, we are currently finishing the Alpha internal test phase.


I quote myself here about Panzer Corps as the same counts for CTGW or any game we will ever do, as we hate unfinished and buggy releases ourselves.
Hi guys, the main reason we postpone a game is:

We are not happy enough with the game, or decide to add more cool features, or to make sure the game is rock solid and contains as few bugs as possible, or to add more polish, or listen to feedback and do some changes or add new ideas based on Beta testing!

So upon release it is the best game we can deliver at that point in time. We are now confident you will than enjoy it and get some quality for you hard earned money.

You had to wait maybe longer than initially planned and we understand this is unfortunate and for some annoying, therefore our apologies, but it was for the good of the game and that is what counts in the end!


Cheers,

Tim aka LZ

We should have been in Beta, but some nasty bugs showed up, we are close to really start the Beta soon though.

Since it has been over 2 months since the last "when" post was made, I thought I would chime in here and ask if there is any updated news.....

The second phase of the Commander: The Great War Beta has started, around 20 new testers at random are invited to join in the CTGW Beta-test program.

This is the second phase of the Commander The Great War (CTGW) beta. While the purpose of the first phase was mainly to test overall stability, the game is now almost feature complete.

If all goes as planned and we can enter the next third Beta phase without much problems, than we are ready to set a final release date, just watch any official announcements here and at Slitherine. We hope to have good news in the course of the coming month.

This game is definatly on my "Must Have" list. Love to see a release by Christmas, but not holding my breath lol. But I'd rather wait and have a really polished awesome game.
