Wanted to update you all on what’s going on with Kingdom: New Lands. We said that the expansion would be coming out this month but unfortunately we’ve had to delay the release.
Here’s the situation: We’re working on releasing Kingdom: New Lands on the PC alongside the Xbox One as our first ever console release. We submitted the game for certification to make sure the game runs all proper on the Xbox One but we didn't pass cert. We underestimated how much work it is to get a game on a console, and to get it to feel right. This is on us as we assumed this would be a breeze to get through. Lesson learned. That was a week ago and we’ve since fixed the known issues and have resubmitted for approvals.
We’re now in the waiting period to see if we’re good to go. Once we know for sure we can lock in a firm date for launching New Lands.
The whole process is very involved, and since there’s only two developers working on the game it’s not as fast as a process as you might imagine to make the game work right, especially with all the new stuff we have in store for you.
We know a ton of you are looking forward to the release and we’re truly sorry we have to make you wait just a bit longer now. We’ll let you know as soon we know ourselves how things are looking.
As for the PC side of things, we're THIS close to getting it out there. We want to do one final beta test and make sure there are no major kinks before we can launch it. Timing wise that's going to put the launches of both versions of the game very close to each other.
In any case as soon as we know 100% for sure we will tell you what’s up. We’re so excited for you all to get your hands on New Lands.
Thanks for understanding. We wouldn’t be here following our dreams and making cool games if it wasn’t for your ongoing support!
