Analysis: A delay greater than expected
I’m not surprised this game is behind schedule. The company had been announcing “2023” for months without any additional details. That said, I thought it would be postponed until March, not the second half of next year. I’m glad the game is getting the time it needs, but it’s definitely going to be hard waiting all these months.
In the meantime, I’ll definitely be playing a lot of Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, and maybe I’ll finally have time over the holidays to start painting my Leviathan box set. These new Terminators are calling me…
