RO2:HoS - Delayed
Written by: CPL Trister


The release of RO2:HoS has been pushed back two weeks to September 13, 2011 in that Tripewire feels they needed the extra time to "get it right" and "add the extra pollish" that "the game and players deserve".

We have to announce that the release date for Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad is shifting back two weeks to September 13, 2011. While we understand the fans are clamoring to get their hands on the game, we felt we needed the extra two weeks to get it right and add the extra polish the game (and the players) deserve.

Pre-orders have also opened as of last week and are offering some deals. Details, from Steam, are as follows:

before it so you can see why I didn't see/read it

I updated the image after you inquiring about the delayed date. Figured since you didn't even read the first line, minus well put it right up in the image.

Anyway, I figured in was worthy to write up since games getting delayed is never good. Which suggests there was a lot of problems in the beta testing. Many may not care for this game, but it's news. And from comments made by outsiders, news was something that was missing from this site even though it's provided on 100's of other websites. Websites that solely run to put out this information, some even paid too. Plus we needed something new other than the 13th's 2nd birthday of 2 weeks ago.
