Following the completion of the Beta test last year, the Studio and our Manufacturing teams have been hard at work preparing things for the release of Dystopian Wars. The observant ones will have realised that things have gone quiet regarding the game, almost as though there was a big announcement expected and then…. nothing happened.

We can now reveal that it was hoped to have the game ready for launch at Salute this coming April. We would have been announcing pre-orders about now. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, the recent issues with the quarantine in response to COVID-19 and the continuing disruption to China have meant that this has become all but impossible as several key components are produced there. We had hoped that it was a minor delay but as of this diary entry, production has not yet resumed at the factories we are working with.

While some products are ready for the launch, we are missing some key items and so have taken the decision to delay the launch of the game until we have certainty over having all of the products available. This is not a decision we made lightly and if we could have found a way around it, we would have. We are now aiming for late Summer as a provisional release date but as the situation with COVID-19 continues to develop we will update you further.
