IIRC the steam version will be a few days later, so yeah, people who get a steam key wont be able to use it right away.

I hope it's this Monday. However, I believe it'll probably be towards the end of March.

A couple of guys got it right

MikeS21 · 02-26-2015, 07:01 PM

I'm guessing regular release will be Monday, March 30th. Pre-release will be Friday, March 27th.

Well, seeing how only the 23rd and 30th were mentioned at least twice as the official release date, I think we've got it narrowed down a bit.

Yeah, as soon as he posted that I went through the thread to see which dates were mentioned more than once lol.

Markus could just be messing with you guys though

My money is on March 27th.

bwburke94 · 02-27-2015, 07:58 AM

We already know from info earlier in the thread that it's a Monday release, Friday for pre-orders.

Syd Thrift · 02-27-2015, 11:40 AM

Seriously, though, folks: if it was going to be released March 15th he'd have said "for release on March 15!" or at least "to be released mid-March!". Just saying "March" almost guarantees it's going to come out at the very end of March, just the same as if someone advertises a burger for "under $5", it's going to be $4.99.

This.

And do programmers ever turn anything in early? They know they have until the end of March, they'll use every second of it.

March 15th is my birthday. I'll be drunk and not able to release a game.

They want to get it just to as close to as they want to be so they do not have to work as hard on patches or have to filter through flame wars on this board. Take your time gentleman!

Let's just say that in exactly 4 weeks time some of us will already be playing OOTP16!!

Rockfan616 · 02-27-2015, 12:33 PM

I'm going to say the end of March, probably the last week of the month... I'll go with the 27th for preorders and the 30th for general release. He probably wants to get as close to the opening day rosters as he can before it's released is my guess.
