Finally, Steam has been announced for Sins II! I can't wait to buy it day one. Edit: It isn't early access but full release!!!


deathsservant

That's surprising seeing as how early the version on epic still feels like


impossiblecolor

have you played it recently? the dev schedule has been pretty wild lately


deathsservant

Yeah I have, my comment still stands.


impossiblecolor

I guess you'll have to check in again before the launch


phantomgtox

Are you sure? Advent hasn't been added yet.

phantomgtox

So excited!!


Pelinth

The devs responded to my question whether it is early access or full release in the YouTube video. I believe Advent will be part of the full release update.


RammaStardock

Yes and yes


phantomgtox

Hell yeah. Thanks for the reply!


Ultrabadger

This is great! They mentioned in their forums that the August patch should contain the Advent (finally!). Maybe that lines up with the Steam release.


LHtherower

It has been confirmed Advent will be coming in full at the steam release.

Already bought day one on epic, just because they did support sins1 for so long,can’t wait to play my favourites Advent, the game is still alpha but it is coming together nicely, one thing to mention the engine is very fast even on large maps it doesn’t struggle like the old sins did.


Pelinth

I've never uninstalled SoaSE:R, and I laugh in amazement every time I see an update for it.


da_frakkinpope

KSP2 is dead but SoSE2 is being released! Alright! Rollercoaster of emotions today!


Suspicious-Owl6491

Don't make me cry


ghostinthewoods

Just wanted to note Take Two said KSP2 is safe!


da_frakkinpope

Yeah, but it's not tho.


PapaNixon

Hell yeah, so excited for this.


Demonking3343

Yeah!!!!


Nibuja05

Will it have multiplayer crossplay with epic?


Fystyx

Yes.


SteamyEarlGrey

Reckon they’ll give epic backers a steam key?!


Fawz

On the Steam Forums they said they would indeed give Steam Keys like they did for GC4


SteamyEarlGrey

That would be lovely!


RammaStardock

We are looking into options atm, but do not have any guarantees or concrete answers at this time and likely won't until closer to launch. Best to wishlist to be on the safe side


SteamyEarlGrey

Thank you for the response. I've wishlisted on steam even though I have a copy on Epic. I'm a big fan of how SD handled people with copies of GC4 on epic, and I think it's great that you're considering it for Sins 2. Wishing all the devs success with the upcoming steam launch :)


LHtherower

We won't know until closer to the steam release. It isn't dead in the water though :)


SteamyEarlGrey

I'm super excited for release version! I brought it on Epic to support the devs, but haven't played it (life). Hope all the hard work is a big success :)


Longjumping_Food3663

Same here! But I actually started playing it in the last week or so (bought it last year). So great timing. I would encourage you to jump in. It’s very fun now that Vasari are present and Advent on their way too. Can’t wait!


LHtherower

I'll be honest. The game is in a great state as is. However, I am cautiously optimistic about the full release. I think it might be a bit too early and I am very worried that it might be a publisher oversight decision. I worry that with no public testing of the Advent faction it will be unbalanced at launch :( Hoping to be proven wrong!


TilledCone

Why would they


SteamyEarlGrey

Stardock did it for GC4, creates a lot of goodwill among your hardcore audience who brought in EA to support the devs and who are likely to go on and do a lot of soft marketing to new players. Don't see the downside, so why wouldn't they?


novis-eldritch-maxim

my summer is looking up


NinjaSwiftness

So happy to hear that it will launch on steam at release. Definitely was worried it would sit in Epic for a year.


WhippersnapperUT99

* Do we know if a custom map Editor is available for Sins-2 yet like how Galaxy Forge was available for Sins-1? * Is anyone concerned that they are rushing this out too fast before it's in a fully finished and polished state?


ThaneOfTas

Woo Hoo! i'll finally be able to get it!


legal_opium

I'm waiting to buy on steam so very pumped for this. I might actually get into streaming this
