Release date?

[Dracarian-darrowmere (Dracarian)]

Even PGI announced a release date of September 10th and I’m stoked. Not only to play another MechWarrior title but that a handful of people in Vancuver showed up the “big boys” at Blizzard.

Coming…

SOON™

[Sírre-malfurion]

It’s going to be July 8.

I made that up in my head with no facts to back it up.
But I think it has a solid change of about 1% to be right.

Thing is nobody knows how much of each department was laid off, but I seriously doubt it was anyone on the Classic team unless they were working on something that is already finished. Companies don’t typically lay off devs until the games almost finished, which Classic isn’t that far away, but it’d be awfully soon. To lay off anyone from the classic team while it’s in active development would be a very poor financial decision.

Development has seen no layoffs, and is actually being expanded on.
Those cut were in positions related to producing (likely after the major production deal with Bungie ended), e-sports, and customer service.

Development of WoW Classic should be completely unaffected.

I feel like people are starting to ask this as a troll. If we had a release date that’s all you would see on the forums.

There has been no change to the announced “Summer 2019”. Bornakk, one of the Blizzard CMs who posts, confirmed that:

No Classic in 2019

The announced year for releasing WoW Classic, 2019, has not changed.

The layoffs were specifically stated to not be applying to dev teams. The WOW Classic team is pretty much all a dev team - no art, no CM. Lean and (not so) mean.

It’s actually being released tomorrow. Around 7pm just after dinner.

could be. That would still be Summer 2019…Southern Hemisphere Summer, which is going on right now, and Blizzard never specified which summer of 2109 (edit:2019…so I start start cardiac arrests)…

[Cheater-azjolnerub (Cheater)]

That post is actually less specific than the date told to us at Blizzcon.

Blizzcon = “Summer 2019”
Bornakk = “2019”

[anon83669306]

That post is actually less specific than the date told to us at Blizzcon.

In response to a thread title specifically implying the year would be changed.

We’ll know when we know.

By summer 2019 I hope this means july or sooner. Im doing what i can to prepare for the release and i’m super pumped. Havent really played since like 2015. Dabble’d in 2017 for a month or so and it was just too much to catch up on and got out of hand from what I missed in the game. Im ready to binge drink game fuel, spam chat for people for a dungeon and constantly having to repeat OOM inbetween every few pulls in said dungeon.

[Zonkabonk-blackrock]

Summer starts on June 21, so it is okay to ask “are we there yet?” from then on. Kicking the back of the car seat is optional but recommended.

[Érathar-sargeras]

I hate those after dinner release schedules. I’m not good at logging in bloated.

[Idun-wyrmrest-accord (Idun)]

Between June 21 and September 22, on a day ending in y.

[Blaîr-sargeras]

I would be pissed lol my vacation is September 1-20th lol

[Rözen-the-scryers (Rözen)]

That’s one reason I hope they don’t put off telling us. People want to be able to take vacation days.
