Any news on a release date?

The FAQ still lists late 2019 as the release date, yet another round of fund raising just happened and there isn't even anything to try out. Any update on the release? I am starting to believe that I wasted my money.

From the FAQ:

When will the game be finished?

Based on our velocity and projections, we expect a late 2019 launch. Alpha phases will begin in 2018, and Beta phases are expected to begin in 2019. We are also releasing several other early testing phases as early as Pre-Alpha, including VoxElyria and Kingdoms of Elyria.

No release date in sight, I was hoping for Alpha 1 this year but we're getting near december now and no announcement and the videos they do put out still look very experimental.

Not sure what was up with that "year of the storm" comment Caspian made.

The FAQ's are outdated in many areas, especially that one.

We have asked them to update them, but they have chosen not to.

The cold reality. Based on the velocity of public evidence shown to date 2021 would be an optimistic target for final release with the long view out to 2025.

Well many developers are making guesses at the beginning of the project that do not match the real progress but that is not really uncommon. It is simply hard to tell how long something will take if there are multiple people involved and the steps to take are not fixed.

I personally would say earliest at the end of 2020 we will be able to take a personal look into Elyria and somewhere 2021 will be the release…but if it takes some more time to make it shine that’s not so bad as I would hate it a lot more to play a half-done game.

CoE have been in development 2017, 2018 and 2019.

A decent MMO takes about 4-5 years to produce. So still some time left until release.

There is no time for release at this moment. Any date is out dated at this point. SbS is no longer releasing dates. Which is smart. We can all speculate when we think things will get done but that can do more harm than good. It could be safe to assume the rest of 2019 will be spent on DSS/SoE/RA. We can all hope that in 2020 testing begins but SbS has already said in the past they care more about the quality of the game then getting it out super fast. So even though it is frustrating we just need to sit back and wait for things to slowly get done and then we can eventually get to play what many think of as their dream game.

Actually they started with a team of 15/16 1 year before the Kickstarter so that would put us right in the middle of the 4-5 year mark you mentioned.

Point of order, during the KSer the initial promised delivery date was EOY 2017 so it clearly started before then.

Now. If you are saying they restarted everything in 2017 after tossing the initial design (such as SpatialOS) I'll agree.

That's when Active Development began.

Hmmm...i mean on the official site: "...The projected release date is in the second half of 2019..."

Is this the thruth or not? I really must say if they don´t hold their dates and i have to wait even longer for this game i won´t. I´m waiting since 2015 and also start thinking that this here was a waste of money and only because i don´t wanted to pay hundrets of dollar i won´t ever play this game.

Yep, the game's development cycle actually started during pre-production which began back in 2015, if not before as per this from the KSer page.

"That's why we've invested half a million dollars to self-fund pre-production thus far and have another $500K committed from investors.

We also promised to only go to Kickstarter once we had a playable demo (combat demo released at PAX East) and substantial development to show. This is not just a concept that we're presenting."

Look, TLDR it aint being released in 2019.

A: The FAQ's are outdated, and SBS has made an interesting choice not to update them.

B: Active development did indeed start in 2016 (Design much earlier), so It's only been three years for a project that will likely take 5-6.

C: Look at the current state of the game.... does it look like its ready? lmao
