The Final Countdown

Hey folks,

The time is nearly upon us, at long last War for the Overworld is about to see the release of version 1.0 in just under a day’s time! This week we’ll be quickly running through a few things for release before jumping into our livestream in a few hours time!

WFTO Releases Tomorrow!

That’s right, after nearly two and a half years worth of development the finish post is now in sight. We’ve been working extremely hard on getting the game to this point and for our code team especially they’ve been going on nearly two days without sleep!

We’re sure that we don’t need to go into much more depth on the topic of the game releasing but here are a few things you should have a read of as well:

Early Adopters Bonus FAQ – Everyone who purchases within 1 month of release gets the first DLC for free

Steam Store Page – We’ve revamped the Steam Store Page and included some more information regarding where we’re headed with WFTO

April Fools: Australian Edition – If you missed our April fools be sure to check it out!

Press Coverage

You’re no doubt aware that we’ve been getting some press coverage over the past few days, we’re sure there are plenty of reviews and articles going up now, so keep your eyes open. In the meantime here are some articles and reviews that have caught our eye:

English

Jim Sterling – War for the Overworld Review – A Real Keeper – TheJimquisition.com

Alec Meer – How to remake Dungeon Keeper – Rockpapershotgun.com

Philip Galekovic – War for the Overworld Review – MouseNJoypad.com

We’ll be keeping our eyes open for more and determining the outcome of everything.

Australia – EB Games – Physical Copies Delayed

We’ve received word from our physical publisher that there has been a mistake made in manufacturing the Australian copies of the game which means the boxes do not include steam keys. The manufacturer has had to recall the EB Games stock as a result of this and is working to replace the stock as soon as possible.

The current expectation is affected stores in Australia will receive a new stock of War for the Overworld ready for this weekend!

Those of you who are looking to get the game from JB Hifi should still be able to grab your copies though your steam codes will be printed on the receipt rather than in the box.

We’re sorry for any inconvenience caused and have ensured that the manufacturers have everything they need to correct the issue.

Launch Livestream Event ( [email protected] 11PM BST)

In anticipation of the launch at Midnight today we’ll be hosting a short livestream as we tick over into release day! Come join us on the eve of launch as we count down the minutes to April 2nd!

As always we’ll be answering your questions and be playing the game a little! Be sure to mark the time in your calendars and drop by with any questions you have on WFTO, the release and our plans for the future!

It’s not long now Underlords, your wait is nearly over and soon you can begin your War for the Overworld!

Until next time Underlord,

– WFTO Team
