Retcon Raider looks at all the developments around Phoenix Point up until this point.
More information.
Phoenix Point - December Update
- Thread starter Silver
- Start date
August or September is more likely.
Rather delayed and fantastic than not so good and on time; then again not so good and delayed would be the worse of all choices...
That one is for parallel worlds.

Excellent combat gameplay! Really nice building destruction mechanics.
Slow as hell on older cards especially on that combined underground-factory part of the map, where the engine tries to make the myriad parts of the building transparent.
Their Geoscape art is SHT. As I wrote them and detailed WTH they need to change so the Geoscape doesn't look like cooked SHT.
Interestingly their vehicle + soldier art looks goofy and lame on the big posters, but comes out very well in SMALL SIZE ingame, where we don't see all the lame design, but only the silhouettes and main colors.
I like how Julian's team is not FKNG UP the game progressively, like Chris Roberts' impotent idiot team does with Star Citizen.

I'm not really sure what I think about on this one, this is a game that I'll certainly not jump in on the day of release. I'm hoping it turns out to be awesome, but ready for the pendulum to swing the other direction. And like several others have mentioned, I'm pretty sure it will be fall or winter before the game is actually released.
This is day one for me but i preordered by fig. Just my type of game with the bonus of a skilled developer. I'm hopeful it is more tactical than xcom.
Yep I'll say sometime in 2019 only because they got more funding and got ambitious.
I was sold after watching the first combat video with the Queen crab-lady. It was like someone took new XCOM, which already was very nicely done, and overhauled it to be even more smooth, informative and intuitive.
