We’re close to an open beta release of AH2 but unfortunately we’re not going to make our 3rd quarter release goal. This is a large project and it’s taken longer than anticipated. This is the longest we’ve been without a release. That’s not a place we like to be and it’s not something we want to extend indefinitely. To counter this, we’re going to make some changes to our release plans. We’re going to move up the release of AH2 Classic ahead of ToD. It no longer makes sense to us to put these out in a simultaneous release. You’ve been waiting too long for us not to get an update out as soon as we can.
On the release of AH2 Classic, we’re still working on art and modeling as well as debugging and optimization. The upcoming open beta will be offline only and the primary purpose will be testing the graphics engine across a wide range of systems. We’ll make the announcement on the open beta when it’s ready to go. Thanks for your patience.
