BattleGoat Studios announces a new May 9th release date for Supreme Ruler 1936, the upcoming World War II installment in their Supreme Ruler series of strategy games. Supreme Ruler 1936 was originally planned for release this quarter, but while they say they are "thrilled" with the reception the game's Early Access has met with on Steam, they add that feedback from participants have inspired some changes. "We love Early Access," exclaims BattleGoat's David Thompson. "The feedback from players that have participated has been great for both testing the game and making changes to better the gameplay experience. In the three months since we released the Early Access, we've pushed nine updates and we expect this rate to continue right up until our official release." Here's more:

Originally planned for release late Q1 2014, the changes and additions from player feedback have resulted in a slight delay of the anticipated release date to May 9th 2014. When asked further about the success of their Early Access beta, Thompson replied, "The Early Access sales have been above expectations and this has given us the freedom to incorporate some new ideas and to improve the historical content of the campaigns." Supreme Ruler 1936 is BattleGoat's first self-published title, the previous two titles were published by Paradox Interactive. Early Access to the game is available for 25% off the release retail price.
