Yes a lot of online gaming stores are advertising it has canceled. My friend here in the uk buys for a chain of gaming stores and he too believes this now to be vaporware simply because the guys he deals with at UBI have either never heard of SOW or those that have say it has been cancelled. He isn't a fan of flight sims and i have told him about this website and UBI's involvement but he keeps repeating what hes been told.

If SOW was cancelled then 4.09 would have been released by now and we would be playing IL2 1947 already
![]() The fact that we are not indicates that development on SOW is clearly going ahead as planned. Obviously Oleg's plan includes keeping you and me in the dark. Live with it ![]() @ UKTree I am assuming your friends in Ubisoft are high level and not just company reps... Reps notoriously are always the last to know. They normally only get told stuff when items are close to going gold as they need to prepare/predict customer demand etc. Until then they are busy selling other Ubisoft products and have very little interest in projects a years or so from completion. ![]() I would worry if top sites like IGN and Gamespy/Gamespot start saying it is cancelled. IGN say: Exclusively on PC Release Date: December 30, 2008 MSRP: $49.99 April 1, 2008 Unreleased Gamespot say: Genre: WWII Flight Sim Release Date: Q1 2009 and Gamespy: Published by Ubisoft Release Date: Q4 2008 Last edited by Bobb4; 08-13-2008 at 09:34 AM. Reason: add info from the three sites |

Yeah he is high level Bobb but it is more than likely that he is talking to Reps at the other end, he hasn't asked the question just because of me, he told me he has had a lot of inquiries in store about SOW because of the release dates that have been banded about on other gaming sites. A lot of people thought it was already out. His opinion is that from the response he has had that the game is dead. I dont personally subscribe to that but it does show that the communication on this product is poor at all levels, or that the software is still a low priority because of the stage of development.

Or they could be keeping security tight on this one... ![]() Or they could be holding off on promotion because they want to see what features and specs will make the initial release (time compromises, budget compromises, ect...) Last edited by proton45; 08-15-2008 at 05:00 PM. |

Not as far as we know or as far as Oleg is concerned.
No - different game, nothing to do with Oleg and Co.'s BoB No more than the rest of us ![]() We are all in the dark here, everything is speculation unless it comes from Oleg or Luthier as far as I am concerned and they have made it quite clear that it is not cancelled and that they are hard at work on their projects i.e "SOW:BoB" for Oleg and "Project Galba" (Korea Game) for Luthier |

LOL Thanks Shifter. I've bounced all over the web the last couple of days looking for something solid. I appreciate the reply. I wasn't going to read through all 112 pages of this thread to find my answer. I did read through about 8 or 10.
It seems that Birds of Prey is for the X-Box. and that's out Q1 or 09. Ok, so I'll wait with the rest of ya. lol Thx Oleg and your crew for hard work all these years. (despite community whining griping and arguing! ![]() Last edited by Duper; 08-17-2008 at 07:00 AM. |

if we havnt heard anything about BoB, and oleg and Co cant be bothered to do 2 hrs work to finalize the 4.09 patch in a 12 month period, i'd say its more likely they closed the office and all went home. |
