Sins Entrenchment Set For February 25

Sins Entrenchment Set For February 25

Stardock Corporation announced today that the first micro-expansion to Ironclad’s Strategy Game of the Year, Sins of a Solar Empire: Entrenchment, is undergoing further incorporation of beta feedback to maximize quality and will now be available February 25 for download on Stardock’s digital download platform, Impulse (www.impulsedriven.com).

 

"One of Stardock’s key strategies for success with past games has been the incorporation of player feedback from our open betas," said Stardock President and CEO Brad Wardell. "We want fans to get the most of this expansion and are making sure we’re delivering the best content possible."

 

The additional time will allow for Ironclad’s development team to incorporate feedback to date and allow for another round of beta testing.

 

Ironclad’s Blair Fraser stated, "It’s of paramount importance to everyone that what we’re releasing is the best and most robust content we can."

 

Sins of a Solar Empire was IGN.com’s “PC Game of the Year” and achieved numerous “Strategy Game of the Year” awards and “Best of 2008” mentions from distinguished media outlets including G4TV, Gamespy.com, Wired, Gamasutra.com, Gametrailers.com and Gamespot.com.

Lies! It's $9.95. And no, the tilde doesn't absolve you from the wrongness of your answer even though its usage was correct.

*coughs*.

True. Buy two hundred copies of Entrenchment, and you'll be able to afford another one with the savings.

It's 12 minutes past February 25..PST. I'm EST. So what gives?

Reply #39 Top

Technically we got 23hours 15mins to go. Depending on Time Zone of course.  Hell, In Australia I think it might even be the 26th by now.

 

WHUR IS IT?!

In Switzerland, it's 9:23 am. The morning of the 25th... :drool:

Reply #41 Top

Feb 25th, as of start of business in their time zone, maybe?

So 8 or 9am I think, in whatever timezone they use...

Wait until then to start complaining ^_^

Give them time for the morning coffee when they get to work at least. I've seen it said that certain employees go on a rampage and hold the release hostage without their coffee. ;P

For how small the Ironclad team is, and how dedicated to the community they are, I always just assumed they were hyper-advanced game design cyborgs that developed sentient thought, and cyborgs don't need coffee.  Or do they...  I must warn the masses.

It is officially February 25th. I hope that Entrenchment final retail gets released today. Come to think of it, it has been delayed six times, but for good cause though.

We can't wait to try its final version. More power to Ironclad and Stardock!

Infact... I demand a coffee smiley.

im kinda new to this impulse thing so if anyone can help me with it.

i pre ordered entrenchment, and it asked me just now if i wanted to download and install it.

But is it the final version, or still the beta??

Since i dont see anyone here on the forums saying its finally there or anything.

just curious....

Huh, good question.

Did you take part in the beta (meaning: did you enable "show prerelease versions" in impulse)?. Switch it off if you have enabled prerelease versions and check if it is still there.

On "Impulse driven" it is still in the "coming soon" section. I suspect you don't see the final version, yet. A couple of more hours, then it should be there...

As of this time, it is still beta. What I have done is install the original Sins and its updates, but not Entrenchment beta, since it would be a waste of time installing the beta version when the final retail product would be released today (hopefully). Impulse automatically updates the original Sins that you installed with Entrenchment if you wish to do so. But I suggest that you wait for the final retail version before doing so.
