Planetary Annihilation Now Coming When It's Done

Got some news for you guys!

​

In order to deliver the best possible experience to our current and future players, we're postponing the estimated release of Planetary Annihilation to ... when it's done.

That means Planetary Annihilation will launch when we feel confident about its level of polish and the amount of awesome we can jam into it. We don't have a hard date moving forward. However, we do expect it to be feature-complete in early 2014.

“We are extremely happy at what we’ve been able to accomplish with the game so far, but we want to take some additional time to make sure we are releasing the best game we can," said Jon Mavor CTO of Uber Entertainment.

"I want to thank everyone who kickstarted and pre-ordered the game again because without you this game wouldn’t have became a reality."

About a year ago, a bunch of gamers got together and bought into our vision. We've been delivering ever since then. We've added a lot of fantastic new mechanics and units and features over the last year -- and we're adding bunch more in the near future. Features coming online soon include area commands, a new camera, a stargate unit, and a complete rethink of the orbital unit set.

This is a moment to celebrate. We're taking extra time to polish up, tweak, balance, and engineer the full game that you want. Your feedback is important and we can't wait to see you at the finish line.

Good decision!

This is Great, in my opinion you can take so long how long you want and think this would be a perfect game! You have the time, the money and the community, so make this game awesome SOON, WHEN IT'S DONE!

Agreed! Very good decision. I have seen firsthand what happens when the devs go ahead and launch a game before it's finished (won't name anyone). Thanks very much, Uber!

Welcome, if expected, news!

So glad this has been officially said now. Alot of people had genuinely beleived they would "pull an EA" and rush it out to hit a release deadline rather than make a quality product.
Super excited for the future of this game.

I think in the end this is a very good decision with so much of the game left to do.

Only sensible thing to do.

great news! Game reviews can make or break some games no mater how good a game is going to be after a lot of patches. This game deserves some really good reviews when it's done/released !

Thank you for taking the time to do it right, as all artists should!

Great, now can we lock the doom and gloom thread

I always wanted that to happen

What about the physical goods ?

All that worring for nothing, i hope the devs are not discouraged by the nerd rage in that thread.

Made the right decision! It's a amazing game, and only getting better! The longer you take making it the better it will be, so take as long as you want!

Interesting question. I still have this big empty space where I want to put the PA poster once I get it.

Best. Decision. Ever.

Good call Uber!!

Most, if not all, Kickstarter rewards will ship after the game is out.

Yay! Can't wait to see what the newer iteration of them will be.
