When do YOU think the official release will be?

Alrighty boys since every topic has been discussed to the bone on here. The long waited question is upon us. How long will the delay be and when will we get our beloved MMO? Well we won't know the answer until the sandal lord himself graces us with the knowledge. But what we can do is take guesses on when it'll be released and refer back to this thread for bragging rights. Without further ado comment below when you think the MMO with release.

A) Before 2020 xD
B ) 2020 Q2
C) 2020 Q4
D) 2021
E) 2022
F) Never! Dead before arrival!

Late 2027 i am afraid(lol) - or maybe Mid- to late 2028.

Damn this did not age well lol

It's possible at least to theorycraft it

Steven has stated A2 will run for at least a year from may 2025-may 2026 I would guess it will run probably 2-3 years sadly, but let's be optimistic and say 1 year

Then we can look at previous timelines, intrepid stated that the betas will be short but I would guess it's at least a year between A2 and the betas, then probably 6 months of betas before launch, at the Very earliest with no delays and everything going right, 2027, but extremely possible we don't see a launch before 2030-2035

I bet no one guessed right xDDD

Anyway, I doubt a2 lasts for more than 2 years and it could probably last one. betas will be a week or two soon after a2. game will launch in 2026 if a2 lasts for 1 year and in late 2027 - early 2028 if a2 lasts for 2 years ;3

that's my prediction.

you have to imagine that we only got 3 zones within the first year of A2 ..... and you guess that they implement and fill the rest of those bazillion biomes within 2 years max not to even mention the naval content and mechanix? .... delusion still is strong in this community .... the full release (1.0 with feature completion/all biomes and naval content) of the game will most likely be in late 2028 earliest.... with the cash shop ready in 2025 to get the needed funds to actually finish the project.... i guess the way everyone envisiones the game completion with multiple gameplay loops and balanced pvp and feature rich and content rich world will take at least till 2030 imo, when we get the game we always got pitched by intrepid

bruh we are only seeing what they want us to see. I'm not saying other things are finished, but be aware that they didn't work on building content for these last few years, they worked on building a factory that builds content. after the factory is built, building the content is faster and easier

I have been MMOing for about 23 years. Two things to know about MMO development. 1. They are never on time 2. 5-10 years is a normal development.

Some MMOs have taken longer. If you want to make fun of Ashes development cycle. You can. Just know, most people here dont care and most people will not pay attention till the game says they are close to release. So making fun, really does nothing for most people. Most people dont care.

If it happens in 2028 or earlier, I would consider us lucky
Realistically, 2028-2030. There is simply too many systems to implement and the world is huge.

Yes.

Very much Yes.

If A2 goes smoothly as planed. 1 to 1.5 years. One hickup could add 3-6 months. I also don't think Ashes will launch with all features. Sea of Theves took 4 years to make. Navel will become an expansion. Or we will be at this for another 3-4 years. Could be wrong and Steven is hiding that content they have created.

Honestly, 2030. There is a looooong long way to go for Ashes

Alpha 1 is going to be such a important point for ashes, in my view, it will make or break the game so I hope they take as much time as they can

Do you still think this 6 years, yes 6 years on.

I usually agree with your comments. Here, hopefully you are not right - but yes, it is a long way, but there are smart humans out there that are able to manage, design and develop and they can work for intrepid. Go for them, Steven.

If Ashes started at 2016/2017 (?) and got fans attracted with age of 30 and will release in 2030 those fans are 43 years old. 13 years in which, usually and hopefully, everything in life changes. Especially one value: Time.

30 years old single without any responsibility will be the two-child mother or father, maybe in well positioned job covering the 2/3 of the day. So, all the best for the fans being 15 years older in a life changing phase

when it comes to time intensive designs that are loved today, but hated in 5 years

I think exactly the same.

Gods forbid the Game comes into Existence without one Hell of a Road of Troubles and Hiccups.

We might see it before we are dead. Huh how much this would piss the World off, right ?

Okay enough Sarcasm for today.
I pray to Sir Steven and his mighty Crew that they stay all in good Health and get their Goals done without much Setbacks and Problems.

I am a bit undecided between if Ashes should release with full Ocean Content or not. But i know it would be better if it would release with all Features. Less whining of the VideoGame Community and more Fun.

After they gave us the current testing schedule I would assume the end of 2026 is best case, most likely sometime in 2027 if they run into any major issues they can't solve quickly.

CriminalCupcake

A2 persistence starting in May of 25 leads me to believe B1 and B2 will be middle of 26, with a release date hopefully being Spring of 27.

MybroViajero

mid/Late 2027 with a very possible delay to 2028 early/mid

koltovince

Honest guess is Q4 2027, maybe 2028. A factor that gives me hope is the fact Ashes is always hiring, and it is approaching if not already at the level of major MMO development team. Hopefully that will speed things up.
