As in title. Seriously, it's kinda annoying to see them as TBA - they're already announced, usually both on producent/developer website and/or on steam. And here it just looks kinda empty. I understand no information about games such as Divinity: Original Sin 2 which is coming somewhere next year, but for few weeks to month release it shouldn't be hard?

Also, what is actually key for upcoming games? I mean, why games that's going to be released tomorrow or day after are not there? UPCOMING isn't the special place for preorders (since some of those games don't have even store page).

I mean, seriously, if you don't put each game you're going to release but only few selected then it's not THAT hard:

NECROPOLIS: A DIABOLICAL DUNGEON DELVE - July 12, 2016
ZOMBIE NIGHT TERROR - July 20, 2016
NO MAN'S SKY - August 10, 2016
OBDUCTION ® - July 26, 2016 - this game should be before No Man's Sky
THIS IS THE POLICE - July 28, 2016 - and this as well
WE HAPPY FEW - July 26, 2016 - (as well before No Man's Sky)


And games such as "We happy few" - I'm happy (lol) as hell this game is going to be released here. I understand no price yet, but not even release date? C'mon, you're advertising something without even teasing us with "in two weeks on your accounts!"

Lol, because then the Crawl developer might have to commit to actually releasing the game.

I still want that thing, but it's been "Coming Soon" for literally like two years.

But those informations can be usually found on developer website... not some shady findlegitreleasedate.com I also don't think it's ever going to be released, but I'm talking about games that HAVE confirmed release date and GoG still have it as "soon".

Unless I'm mistaken there is no release date for that one at all. The "TBA" is actually for a early access "release" which is sort of messed up in it's own way :P Keep in mind "release date" and "date of release on GOG" are not necessarily the same thing. Unfortunately.

You're right (i.e. Crawl, maybe it's going to be upcoming forever, your grandchildren will wait for it as well?) but about "We happy few":

>We are also excited to announce that we are taking part in GOG.com’s Games in Development program, meaning that we will be launching on GOG.com on 26 July.

It doesn't even have requirements listed on GoG (even tho they're visible under link above) and price *known as well).

How about adding release dates to games ALREADY IN THE CATALOG?
I'm always wondering how come I never saw that relatively old title before and it requires extensive forum checks to find out...

Negotiations tend to delay a game release on GOG, so they cannae give an exact date.


And then you have Crawl and Starbound.

Sounds reasonable. GOG should add that information wherever they have it. Lazy bunch of ... ;) Why not? At least GOG should know when they plan to release a game. Or do they decide every day in the morning what might be released today?

As Trilarion said to skeletonbow, presumably they don't start every day by saying "which of the games we have ready in the pipeline should we release today?". We have to assume that they know, at least a few days ahead of time, when they are going to release a game. And yet, the amount of game releases that are announced ahead of time (and not just when, but even if they are coming at all) is vanishingly small, and usually only when there is a pre-order option.

It's costing them sales too. I've certainly bought several games elsewhere because as far as anybody (besides GOG) knew, no GOG release was planned, only to have them show up here completely unannounced a short while later. Had I known they would be released here, I would have happily waited and bought them here instead. I cannot imagine that I am the only one to experience this.

The "upcoming" tab on the front page was pretty neat, but now GOG has started to pompously announce games with a press release right on the splash page without having any idea when these games are supposed to release. That's ... just wrong, in my opinion.

@Wishbone - same here, I've brought my GF Slim Rancher on steam (personally not buying there for personal reason but I also didn't want pirate it), as well with at least several other games (that I'm ocassionaly buying on gog when there's -75% here). I know that steam's upcoming are full of games for next year, I understand if GoG don't want to make that movie but month or two in advance would help everybody. I can only imagine how many people have brought Ori and the blind forest somewhere else because there was no indication whatsoever this is going to be ever released here. And there are more and more games... But problem is also not updated wishlist for almost any title, not even declined/in progress/waiting - so people can make their minds about some games.

Soon:)

As someone else said above, the publishers announced release date of their game, and the game's actual release date on GOG could be completely different things. See Running With Scissors "Postal 2 Paradise Lost" for the perfect example. The release date was like 2 years ago or so officially, and the game is on Steam. They announced "coming soon" to GOG way back then. The game does not exist on GOG to this day, and all they say is "we're working on it!" which is a crock of shit.

GOG would be extremely unwise to take any statements off of any web pages official or not and use those dates themselves. One date goes wrong and a release does not show up here and the entire GOG community would go apeshit crazy. That is just a fact of how things work.

GOG should never post any release dates unless they are in direct communication with the publisher and the publisher has committed in writing to GOG that they will be releasing their game on GOG.com on a certain date, and only then if they believe that target will likely e hit on time.

The entire global gaming community is very sensitive about games being released on the date they are claimed to be coming out on, and go into an angry toxic rage if that date is missed by 20 seconds. If there is one thing that the smart game developers, publishers, retailers have learned over time it is to never ever publish a release date or even an estimated date for something unless you are absolutely certain that it will be hit, and even then it is a good idea to avoid doing it. Sure, gamers don't like that - they want dates, but it is a sad reality that dates are hard to predict more often than not so a lot of companies avoid doing so and thus avoid the negative publicity that comes along with a date getting missed - even if they are not responsible for it.

GOG would be completely foolish to publish dates for things that they don't have official promises for in writing. Not only foolish but perhaps even stupid. See my response above. :)

Oh no, definitely not the only one. I can attest to triple digit diversion of euros to steam on account of buying a game there because GOG would not divulge if and when it's coming out here.
