Slitherine Software :
Marco Alessandro Minoli, Director of Publishing, stated: "The game won't be releasing this year as intended, but we felt it was necessary. This decision is motivated by our desire to fully meet our community’s expectations, to ensure that Broken Arrow is the best game of its kind and that it provides a flawless experience to its players. To achieve this, we needed to run more extensive testing and iterate on improving the code efficiency. We don’t want to underestimate any potential issue and we’d rather wait than risk letting anyone down on day one. The development team has been hard at work and we can’t wait to show you what is new for the game".
The publisher acknowledged that this will disappoint many players and members of the game community, but there is some good news for them as well: a new multiplayer Open Beta will be available for everyone to play on November 12th. Throughout the entire month of October, Broken Arrow fans can expect weekly developer diaries on the Steam page, which will highlight all the latest updates and showcase the content available in the beta, including new units, specializations, maps, and features.
Furthermore, fans can expect an important reveal of Broken Arrow in December, which would also be the occasion for a very special announcement.
Slitherine, the publisher, and Steel Balalaika, the developer team, promise to players that their patience will be rewarded: "We think we have an amazing game on our hands and we are certain that you won’t be disappointed".
