    If they announce tomorrow a release date for Summer 2030. Would you still be happy to wait it out for ten years until you get something for your USD 100 because you love the series so much ?

    I am very dissapointed. Mostly because we don't yet have a new date, nor do we have any good explantion for the delay. Don't get me wrong, I would rather have a game which has been polished for 6 month than a game which is released and then no more update. I am really hoping for a new beta trial (wasn't apart of the first one) just for a possible chance to try the game! But, have been waiting 22 years for a follow-up to settlers 3, I guess we can wait a bit longer.

    Of course I'm sad that there is a delay. Like everybody else here, I want to play the game. but if the choice is between getting an unfinished game now, or a better game later, then I'm all for waiting
    My main problem is the lack of communication. Before the delay we only had a 2020 release date without any month when to expect it. Now we just have 2021. Are we talking about Christmas 2021 or early 2021?
    What has caused the delay? Is Corona to blame? Did the beta testers tell them the game wasn't fun? Did they fire half the team working on it?

    As always I have my pitchfork and torch in the storage and will decide to pick it up and march on UBI HQ if game will not meet my expectations.

    So probably best option for them is to never release it

    I am not in a hurry and really prefer a game that will start up after installing, not format my hard drive, or need to be patched every hour, etc.

    I am wondering if possibly the success of Anno 1800 made Ubi reassign some workforce from Settlers to Anno, to work on the second season pass.

    edit:
    Alternatively recent sexual misconduct related layoffs in Ubisoft management might have impacted the Settlers team.

    Yeah I agree we need some news. My fear is that this Settlers has just been completely cancelled at this point. Its usually bad news when you go this long without even a tweet (since July 2nd). I expected it to be 2021 anyway, because thats just how things were going anyway with just about everything, but I think this game might be lacking funds or lacking the backing required to really finish it from Ubisoft. I'm not 100% on that, its just from an article or two I saw couple months back. Hopefully we get to hear something soon that is a bit more concrete on exactly where this game is in development. Just praying it isn't cancelled at this point.
