One excerpt from the spotlight:

Alan Miranda, CEO: "There is no official release date that has been announced by Atari yet. The game itself has been finished for quite a while and Obsidian is continuing to work on integrating the code to make it available through the 1.13 patch (these changes unfortunately didn't make it in time for 1.12). We know the delay is frustrating, but we think the game will be well worth the wait, as was indicated in the recent Games for Windows review of MoW (April/May issue). It's also going to be included in the upcoming NWN2 Gold edition. Please hang in there... and stay tuned!"

The NWN2 Gold edition is scheduled for an April 29th release according to Amazon.com - which looks like the target date for the relase of MoW as well.

Thanks KGambit for all the wonderful info. I'd personally rather they take their time so this game is as bug-free as possible even if it takes more time to come out.

Bad trend these days of games coming out unprepared and full of problems. NWN2 was a hard nut to patch when it came out, so much that I didn'T play it until a couple patches fixed the game's patching process.

Rob, you have to deal with us and that can't be an easy job http://nwn2forums.bioware.com/_commonext/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif

Anyway, congrats and keep up the good work.

Looking forward to the 1.13 laundry list ermmm, I mean intended fixes http://nwn2forums.bioware.com/_commonext/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif

Still nailing that down. The MoW security stuff takes away quite a few zots so the 1.13 patch may be much smaller than we would like.

I will hopefully be giving an update on the MoW Security stuff in the Blog this week.. And I will probably release the Blog tomorrow instead of Friday.

LOL Rob's blog simply quotes the link I listed above. So that's it. Patch 1.13 is going to be light by the looks of it.

Here's the link to Rob's latest blog (http://forums.obsidianent.com/index.php?automodule=blog&blogid=2&showentry=107) for March 28

As I understand it, it will focus mainly on getting MoW shipped out and whatever minor fixes they can squeeze in, if any. I sure hope they get it ready by the time the next Gold Edition comes out. "What another Gold Edition?:confused: I already have one ..." :D :cool:
