Stellaris Releases February 16, 2016

Not to be the Negative Nellie (...OK, to be the Negative Nellie), but I'll be pretty astounded if Stellaris is actually released in 2 months from now.  My bet would be more like Q3 2016.

Just recall, Hearts of Iron IV was originally slated for release in spring of 2015. Pdox have yet to announce a revised release date, having missed that target by many months now...

I am really looking forward to this game but am cautious at the same time. It looks great but my experience shows me that it's really when i actually play a game that i will know for sure if i am really going to enjoy it.

Hearts of Iron IV....what was that one about?  ::)

To be fair to Paradox, they did delay HoI IV so they could redesign large portions of the game after the press event earlier this year. The old Paradox just would have released it when it was good enough.

I'll be surprised if its released Q1 as well. As excited as I am for it, I want them to do it right and not rush it.

Yeah, I'll admit I'm rather skeptical about a February release date myself.  I'll have no problem if that turns out to be true, though.  :)

According to people on the forum the Feb release date has been denied by Paradox.  :'(

Surely by the summer though?

Yes indeed.

I'm so happy they made the change in QA direction a few years ago.  A complete turnaround.  It also resulted in well-deserved commercial success with their ensuing big titles. 

If the Pdox management didn't think the new HOI was up to snuff, and needed more time being redesigned, then you can bet we surely wouldn't have been happy it in the earlier format.   Same for Stellaris or any other.

I dunno, Huw.  I genuinely hate to be a pessimist (especially with Stellaris), but these days, it seems like when Paradox delays the release of a game, it's usually by a good six months or so. 

Given that, I'd guess a Q3 release is more likely.  Again, however, I'd love to be wrong!

You guys are killing me!!!

And again in fairness to Pdox, they acknowldged that they botched the announcement for HoI4 (first announced in Jan. 2014!) and said they won't announce new titles going forward until it's in or near Beta.

Kind of killing me that they still haven't announced a launch date for HoI4 - my hope is Q2 2016. This is my single most anticipated game of the new year.

Stellaris is up there on my "can't wait" list too, but I really think we're looking at later in 2016...

Well, according to PC Gamer, Stellaris is "nearly complete".

Grim.Reaper

I wonder what their definition of "near complete" is :)

......near completion to be released to testers?  Early access?  Or almost ready to be made available for purchase?

Really liked what I saw in today's Administrative Sectors dev diary.

The Vassals, Colonial colonies concept obviously isn't new for paradox but its the first time I can remember seeing it done in a space 4x. I love how races and like minded pops will migrate to specific regions.

In a future DLC I think I'd like to see them expand the system out to where if you had a large empire with high corruption, then your sector governors could potentially start trying to set themselves up as their own empire.
