5/6/2023 0 Comments Frostpunk 2 release![]() Figuring out which release dates are real and which ones are placeholders, however, is a mystery that cannot ever be solved - at least until a developer makes an official announcement. Ultimately, this leak of internal Steam release dates gives us a rough idea of when developers think their games might come out. Even if there are less than 10 days remaining, Valve will allow developers to change the date by contacting them. Essentially, that means that none of the dates longer than 10 days away are guaranteed. Otherwise, a dev can change this date at any time. Its successor takes place 30 years after the apocalyptic blizzard storm, and Earth is still overwhelmed by the icy climate of neverending frost and harsh weather. Nobody - The Turnaround is also a good candidate for a potential real release date as opposed to a placeholder.Ĭritically, Valve will not allow a developer to automatically change its release date once it gets within 10 days of the date set by the developer. Frostpunk 2 is the sequel to the highly acclaimed, BAFTA-nominated society survival game that blended city building, strategy and management gameplay, creating a brand new genre. Other games, however, have release dates that may be a little closer to reality, such as Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection (July 15, 2022) and Dune: Spice Wars (April 26, 2022). (I'm no psychic, but I'm pretty sure we won't have to wait 6 years for that game to come out.) (Remember, Steam requires that developers set an internal release date before publishing a Steam Store page.) This is most evident with some of the more absurd cases such as Hollow Knight: Silksong which has an internal Steam release date of February 28, 2028. In some cases, an end-of-the-year release date (such as with My Time at Sandrock or Warhammer 40,000: Darktide) is almost certainly a placeholder. So, are these dates accurate? It's difficult to tell. In my estimation, the publication of these release dates via the Steam API may have been an accident. These dates were subsequently recorded by SteamDB, a website that tracks behind-the-scenes changes via the Steam API. ![]() Dwarf Fortress, for example, shows "time is subjective" as its release date on its Steam Store page rather than a specific date. ![]() ![]() This does not have to be made public as shown in Steam Partner documentation, allowing developers to set a custom string for the release date field that you'll see on a Steam Store page. Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 Release Dateīehind the scenes, Steam requires developers to set a secret release date. Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection Release Date ![]()
