All these teases and "if this gets x amount of like we will reveal release date" is all pre planned and scripted. I sincerely doubt the devs are being pressured by the player's like that.
Then you'd be surprised to learn that we actually came up with that yesterday morning.
The teasers are planned for a longer time already, of course, same with our overall communication strategy. But that doesn't mean that we can't have some additional fun from time to time.
On one hand I hope the release date is very close but at the other hand I fear that the marketing team might push the DLC too early because people want it now.
I still have very bad memories of that from the game Stellaris and their MegaCorp DLC. People wanted it so bad and the publisher gave in, leaving the game in an unplayable state that still leaves issues today (almost 3 years after the release of said DLC).
So yeah, I obviously want the DLC now, I love playing the game insanely much right now (have put in almost 130 hours in just roughly 2 months) but I also want them to release the DLC when THEY are REALLY ready for it.
Just to clear up some misconceptions: The release dates are set and proposed by us (but ofc communicated with the other teams within Ubisoft). We're not being pressured into keeping those or releasing on a set date by anyone but ourselves ;)
Just saying...
The impression I got from that tweet the other day is that elevator are construction materials.
Whatever the new commercial goods are, I hope that they are added on top of current needs, as I'm all for complexity. So that the needs go above the current 8 items.
Complexity sounds good, let's do that
When Update arrival notifications? :D
As soon as we implement that bell button on the Anno Union :P
Cause everyone loves (repairing) elevators, right?
@fissilecore When you received a reply on the old forums, it's being investigated. If your report was new, I'd indeed recommend posting it again on the new ones.
I honestly wouldn't call that a summer release. If I was the community manager I'd say expect it in Fall and then release earlier and everyone would be like "oh nice they made it earlier than they said they would cool". Expectations
While that can be a nice trick, we'd rather communicate the actual timeframe.
Keep in mind, we planned the releases at the very beginning of the year and wanted to give you a rough idea of when each DLC is releasing.
and when will we get more details?
Soon™
Well, I know :P
But the other replies are correct, we have not communicated a specific release date yet. The Technical Test is ongoing, and "The High Life" will release in late Summer.
Some people in the community created calculators, maybe those are what you're looking for:
