View Full Version : Release date really postponed
As of 16th july
Hello and welcome to TotalWar.com. Despite all the best efforts of the developers and publishers we have missed our production dates due to issues in C.Q.C. (Customer Quality Control). This means that production has been delayed'unfortunately, pushing back the release dates.
I can't confirm any dates as yet but I can confidently say that all of you who wish to play the new add-on pack will be doing so by the end of August at the very latest. From reading the forums and your emails, we are very aware of the frustration within the Total War community, regarding release dates. The game is finished and it has mainly been issues concerning game documentation that have had to be addressed, that have delayed release.
Every one from the developers to the publishers are doing their best to get the Mongol Invasion Expansion Pack and the
Warlord Edition (Shogun Total War plus the expansion pack) on the shelves as quickly as possible. We are so close to release now we can smell the Mongol horsemen.

I think I'm smelling something other than Mongol horsemen - maybe something that the Mongol horses left behind...

Phoenix,
You need to separate out the documentation from the actual software. That's how they are working it apparantly. The software passed CQC and went into production, but the documentation is still hung up in CQC.
I agree with you that the fact they are paying attention to the documentation is a good thing, especially for those of us in North America who really got screwed over with the physical documentation (downloads aside).
I'm not overly concerned with the additional delay, although I'm as anxious as anyone to start playing the expansion. We still have an outstanding game to play as is.
Frustrating as the delays can be, in the end we'll just end up with a better game overall (gameplay AND documentation).

A game release, in August???. In middle of summer???
No, games never has been released in summer, it´s a crazy thing. I think that expansion pack, will be release, around middle of September.
Also, if you go to Meristation the release date is 14th September!!!: www.meristation.com/ (http://www.meristation.com/)
(click on "avances". Then, in the right side of the page, click on "Shogun Total War...").
NCAA Football 2002 here I come! At least I'll be playing one EA product in July.

Ok. I think I'm going back to Diablo 2 and maybe Baldurs Gate for a while. But I'll probably miss my Ashigarus about one week not playing STW and have to come back again..and again...and again..until the Mongols arrive.

*chimes in from vacation*
I am displeased. Somewhat. I don't mind the release itself so much, but delaying the game another month or so because of *documentation issues* is trying my patience. But at least I'll be around to play it from the first, now. Generally it's a bad thing, but personally a not-so-bad thing.
And oh, I deleted a record-settingly obscene message by trk713-san. Now you have it out of your system, apology accepted, but no need to preserve it for the future generations.
