Quick OOTP 20 update!

Markus Heinsohn · 01-21-2019, 09:12 AM

Hey guys,

now is the time of year when we usually announce the new version and start the pre-order process. This year we will handle it a bit differently, we will announce the game around the start of Spring Training games and hence will have a much shorter pre-order period (eSellerate only). We are still shooting for a pre-Opening Day release on all channels (Steam, Origin, eSellerate, MacOS AppStore).

So, expect the official announcement about our 20th(!) Anniversary Release in 4-5 weeks.

I still can't believe we've been around for 20 years now...

Cheers,
Markus

Yes

With some great new features. And we will be adding even more PT-related features and content as the year progresses.
