I hate to be a buzzkill, but release dates posted in GI are not always correct. Great news if it's true though! :grin:

Wouldn't hold my breath gents... GI online says TBA.

Sure hope we get it in that time frame. Would make January a pretty awesome month between Red Tails and this. Unfortunately that's the earliest release date I've seen so far and would be a bit surprised if we got it by then. It seems the marketing/web crew is just getting started so I figure we'll be waiting for a bit.

¿TBA?

I think January 10th is too soon, the page is still incomplete, and it is rare to launch the game with incomplete page... but I prefer in January

TBA = To be announced. (Guess it means no man on the planet really knows).

[Anton Yudintsev]

10th of January is definetly wrong guess. Sorry guys.
BTW, does anyone release games that early after Xmas...?

Well maybe one or two......

I wouldn't be sorry Anton, the fact that it's coming is enough for me. And surely the great promotion machine has yet to have all it's engines started!

Thanks for clearing that up. Do you have a target month or even a concrete deadline set already?

So here goes another guess.

At the homepage www.birdsofsteel.com you state that the page will be updated once a week with info.

So far we got 3 of 7 countries planes, remaining 4.
In the mission section there are 9 missions to be accounted for.

This making it a total of 13 updates which equals 13 weeks from now.

My guess is release in week 11, 12 - 18 of March.

Swung by the local gaming store yesterday and they have 02-28-12 in their system, which is also the date that I've seen and heard as the most likely release date here in the states!

[FOZ_1983]

Here's a guess, and one i would say is fairly reasonable -

North America - 10 April
Europe - 13 April


Thats my guess.

Lets get a pool going!!

@ FOZ_1983

Well unless something has delayed the game, the trailer listed Q1 2012, so that means Jan., Feb. or Mar. April would definitely be wrong.

Good idea, lets get betting and Gajin put up some prizes !
1 free copy and 5 free DLC's to the one who gets the date right.
Runner ups gets a copy and lesser DLC's.
What about it Anton ?

haha we wish!

Really there are not many posible dates . Foz has the right idea, It will be a Tuesday in US and a Friday in EU (although he might have it the wrong way around, remember BoP launched in Europe 4 days before the US) most signs pointing to end of March possibly begining of April. So thats really only 8 dates for the first release to the world, 23rd, 30th, 6th, outside chance 13th for first release in EU and 20th, 27th, 3rd, and 10th ouside chance for a first release in US.

I said "at least" once a week :)

Well, I am not sure we have our own free copies of game :(
Still, no use in speculations, guys.
Konami officially announced Q1 of 2012, afair.
And most likely it won't be in January (1. too close to now, and date is not even announced, 2. bad month to start sells).
It gives two months window :)

I know its going to be a friday here in uk.

[McQ59]

All I know is that christmas eve comes really early next year, and that it's gonna be a hell of a party!
