TopWare Interactive announces Raven's Cry will not be released this month as planned, saying the seafaring RPG should now be expected on November 27th. They offer some good news with the bad, noting that Linux and SteamOS editions of the game will come at that time in addition to the previously announced Windows and OS X versions (console versions are expected in 2015). Here's word:

Ahoy! The winds were on our side for a good bit there, but alas, we’ve hit some rough seas, and it looks like Raven's Cry will be arriving in port a bit late. We need more time to scrub the decks and get the guns in working order. We could have just sped through these treacherous waters — land was right over the horizon! But no captain worth his salt would put his ship on such a perilous course; after all, we’re beholden to our loyal fans and our extraordinary community to deliver an exciting and perfect pirate adventure.

All the recordings have been made, all features are on board, but no sailor feels safe when his ship is listing. So, to make sure we can count on smooth sailing form here on out, Raven's Cry will now be released on November 27, 2014 for PC and Mac, the retail and console versions will be out in the first quarter of 2015. But there’s some good news as well! We recently picked up a coded message in a bottle informing us that our pirate epic will be coming out on November 27, on Linux and SteamOS, too.
