News Powerplay Beta Date Update

[Michael Brookes]

Hi everyone,

We want to update you on the Powerplay release. The team are working really hard on what is going to be a huge and very exciting update and earlier today in my weekly post I said we were still tracking to release the Beta next week.

However, in order to be sure we release the best build we can we have now decided to move the Beta release out by up to an additional week, depending on progress, so I wanted to let you know as soon as possible. This also means the release date of Powerplay will change.

We will of course keep you updated. We really appreciate your understanding.

Powerplay is looking very good, and it’s a major update so it’s better to give it a little more time, and also we'll appreciate as many of you as possible helping with the Beta!

Thanks

Michael

I've just recently overthrown my government (Tougier), it's now independent not anarchy. I don't have beta access but is there any way i can help with the beta ?
Keep up the good work

Top banana, looking forward to it.

Happy to wait, particularly as I will be on holiday!

 

[Kris]

Take your time!

More time to play Witcher 3

 

[Smoon]

More time means more money for me via trade and exploring. Keep those CGs coming

 

[Shanaeri]

No problem here, take all the time you need to get it right(It helps that I'll be in India next week so wouldn't be able to play anyway )

 

[Patrick_68000]

Powerplay is as the good wine

 

[Dante80]

Well, a delay is a delay. Thanks for informing us early mr Brookes. <3

 

[Distance]

Good call!

I'd rather it be done right and you take your time over it and I'm sure the majority would too.

It seems community likes an honest counterpart, take your time, anyway I'm grinding to get a better spaceship (a multipurpose one) so, I'm sure in two weeks will get my first Python

Thanks for the Update

Far better than rushing it, and thanks for the update.

Worth bearing in mind that if your beta week clashes with half term holidays in the UK that you might have fewer beta testers than you would normally, due to them having to look after kids. In that situation an extended beta period might be in order...

 

[Arubeto]

Good decision! Take as much time as needed to bring Powerplay to the best level possible before you release it. I think everyone will support that decision as long as you keep the players updated.

No worries Michael, good luck for the next two weeks!

Kindest Regards,

An unexpected tension extension.

 

[Pixeldemon]

The devs need time to play Witcher 3. Can't say I blame them

 

[Synther]

Boo! That means I can't beta test a Python next week!

Better to make it look good though. Looking forward to see how big this changes the game.

 

[Cosmos]

Yeah thanks for the update. Better to get it super awesome than rush it out too early

 

[Mordu]

Thanks for the heads up Michael. We look forward to what awaits even if it takes a bit more time to polish.
