Official Release Date???

**Dr_Who_Regen#4** · 09-07-2006, 04:49

Anyone heard of exactly when M2TW will be released (and whether it will vary by country)?

In particular when will it be released in the USA?

I noticed on the totalwar.com web site you can preorder from amazon and play.com. Both look to be the UK versions of these websites, but Amazon says November 24 and Play.com October 27.

Anyone know any official news?

I don't know the exact realease date is already given.First,CA says : 3th November.Then,I read on different sites that release is planned on 25th November.Now,I read : 14th November.I am a bit confused

Yep, seen all those dates on various websites

Clearly, it will be soon. The last month has seen the amount of previews & info go through the roof, obviously the marketing machine is swinging into action as the game nears completion. Late November still gives them a couple of weeks wiggle room in case the game slips, and they can still get it out before Christmas.

Its been pretty apparant to me that there has been no public slippage on MTW2, whereas Rome ended up some 18 months "late" IIRC. And then there was that mysterious 1 month delay with STW (all the gaming mags said it was "out now", except it wasn't, I even remember PCG apologising to their fans for saying it was out when it wasn't and saying they had no idea why there was a delay).

The USA normally gets TW games a week or two ahead of Britain and light years before Australia

At least we Australians have CA

. But it is infuriating, I mean, the game is being made in Australia, and the we're the last to get it?

I mean that's pretty unfair.

Sweden seems to get it the 15th of november.
The online store I buy from has this date as release date and they only set the dates when it is "confirmed".

But...but your country isn't the fattest nation!

America needs those games quickly. So the population doesn't get bored and start eating more!

We should legally impound the build so that no one gets it before us.

Where TW titles are designed and where they're produced is not the same place. SEGA are the publishers/distributors of the game and I imagine it's likely this will be done in the States...
