Hmmmmm.
Nothing official yet. But as far as I know the developers have said "there will be no delays". Hence I am kinda hoping it is true.

May 31st --- End of Autumn.
Seems like a long time for them to release it.
I hope its earlier so then we can buy it and play it earlier. ALthough I would prefer them to get as many bugs sorted as possible rather than release it with lots of bugs and then releasing 10 patches.

Maybe they are tricking us slightly.
maybe they don't want people bugging them about the game near the release so they've given us Autumn as a throw off and then really release it on May 31, who knows, I personally hope it is May 31....this year lol

EBGames.com says September 1st or something like that (I cant rememebr totally but ti was sometime in September)
(1) We Americans understand perfectly the word "Autumn".
(2) Are you telling me that there is no "fall" in the rest of the AngloPhonic world??

I highly doubt it'll be 2003 when the game is released
The day MTW is released will be that of the Second Comming...
Wait...
GAH!
Episode II is released in May! Could it be these wily bastids are trying to sneak MTW into the market under the radar knowing very well that the world will be dressing up in Darth Maul garbs and brandishing plastic tubes on sticks?

It's always wise to play permistic. That way, you can be lightened up by occasional surprises once in a while.

Thats some good thinking Vanya. But then they wouldn't get the record sales that I know they will get if they release it after the Star Wars hype has disappeared again.

i wouldnt count on it for summer release. too early yet. fall release is ok, but then you may fall short come christmas time. christmas release and you compete with all the big boys. i'd say fall release is prolly best; gets you in before all the big boys.
there's also that remark that de plater made about out of house beta testing. i'm pretty sure that hasnt happened yet, particularly in light of that remark made in the ign preview about 'almost out of alpha'. it also seems from the rumor line, that CA is taking more time to test this time and hopefully that also means that the beta will be quite thorough as well.
it's currently mid april. i would think the time line would be more like end of may for alpha completion, june, july for beta, wrap up for distribution and send to distributor and let distributor test and package in august. release in early september. and frankly, that's optimistic. could easily be longer by a month or two.
and if they do use the 1.02 testers then add in an additional 6 months ;) (just kidding, graham)

That is where you are wrong.
Star Wars: Episode IV
Empire Strikes Back: Episode V
Return of the Jedi: Episode VI
Phantom Menace: Episode I
Attack of the Clones: Episode II (Soon)
???: Episode III (Next year or so)
These set of 3 precede the original 3...

Enough you, you....SPAMMERS (gosh, i said a dirty word)
Now back to the subject, hope that Jar Jar dies in episode II, or even better yet, he won't be in the film at all.
