RPG Vault's Savage
2: A Tortured Soul Update Q&A talks with S2 Games about their coming RTS/FPS
sequel. Along the way, they reveal summer 2007 as the new release date for the
game, which was originally expected in fall 2006 (
story) before
its release date was pushed to this month (
story). Included is
word that beta testing, once planned for last summer (
story),
should begin in a couple of weeks. The beta may open to all eventually, but at
first will be restricted to the patient folks who preordered the game a year ago
(
story):
Savage 2 should be finished in the summer of
2007. Our initial launch date was winter of 2006. We needed more time for a
couple of reasons. The first reason is because we're still a bit green as a
studio and creating timelines that we can actually achieve is a bit difficult...
as if we're the only ones, and this is just our second game. Secondly, we will
not cut corners on this title. We have a vision for a game, and we won't stop
until we've hit it.
The beta should begin in the coming weeks and is restricted to those who
pre-ordered the game. We may open it up at the end, but have yet to make a
decision.
