RescueToaster Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 If there haven't been any updates then you can (maybe) expect that it's still on schedule for either this or next week! Fingers crossed If you really can't wait, you can buy the game on Battlefront and get your Steam key later, and just add the game as a non-Steam game for the time being! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManyMilesAway Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Here's to hoping it's on time still, I have a number of friends waiting on the steam release to pick it up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Official release date given is March/April, so pretty sure that next week is not a sure thing. They have another 5 weeks, and when you count in the previous delays for CM games releasing on Steam, it could well be May 2022. Don't give other people hopes you have no justification for.

I didn't suggest that it was coming this or next week. The "maybe" qualifier and "fingers crossed" should have made that pretty clear. My point was that the possibility exists, unless they have said otherwise somewhere and I've missed it. There's a week of March left, and with all things quiet on the Battlefront, we know that means that they are busy at work putting in 60+ hours a week. This feeling, the quiet before the storm, is very reminiscent of CMCW the week or so before its release. So, why would/should we not expect it to potentially release next week? What justification do you have for that? And I think the hope was already in you, so don't blame that on me Edit: Went to make dinner, came back and read what I wrote and.. oof this sounds like I'm upset.

Maybe Slitherine has released some tidbits of information on the release date on one of their streams without actually notifying people anywhere else, that's what they did for Cold War. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Not gonna happen anytime soon. Next item on that list is the tournament mode for PBEM++, which is going into CMCW. Then there's CMBN afterwards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please read this with a healthy level of playfulness and sarcasm. No worries. I was kinda snappy myself. However, as others stated already, I have somewhat of a justification for my pessimism because some Modules took forever to release and the Steam version of Cold War was delayed many months. But to be sure, I am very much hoping for a on-time release for BN. I am not very interested in that particular CM iteration but bringing out BN on time means that the other games will probably release in the respective months as well. I also don't want to disrespect the hard work Battlefront are obviously doing and on how many stuff they work simultaneously. But I do share @Darren1989's urge to see those games released on Steam since they will have much better regional prices and maybe even an early sale and so I don't have to spent 100 euros (2 or even 3 weeks of food for me) on a Fortress Italy Complete Bundle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Battlefront has nothing to do with PBEM++, its tournament mode or the Steam releases. That is Matrix. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FogForever Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Saw this on the steam Cold War Forum. "FindTheSource" is claiming BFN release now maybe for Q2. Anybody know if it is true? FindTheSource Mar 25 @ 2:49pm They've said, that they will release WWII titles on Steam (Battle for Normandy, Fortress Italy, Red Thunder and Final Blitzkrieg). BfN will be first, yesterday they've said, that they are "hoping" for release in Q2 2022. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FogForever Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Yes, looks like info is right. Announced in Slitherines TeaTime programming. So BFN is a maybe in Q2 or Apr-June. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RescueToaster Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Some updates on the last page in that post. Looks like a tournament feature is cause of the holdup. Elvis guessed late April, though there's potential for it not being until May or even June. Well, this gives me even more time to finish up my current campaigns 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackal256 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Does anyone have news about the new release? Since its already july, and still no CMBN in the store.... im still waiting to get it on steam. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Why wait? Once it is out on Steam you can get keys to activate it and in the meantime you get to play. To answer your question: integrating the Matrix PBEM++ system and adding support for the tournament has taken longer than anticipated. I believe the goal is to release the steam versions of the CM products with that working from day one once the features in in Cold War and the issues are resolved. BFCElvis has made posts about this so I am not sharing anything new here just relaying information that is already available but from memory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're able to buy it now from the Battlefront.com store, and then when it releases on Steam you will receive free keys for CMBN on there too. That way you can play the game in the meantime as Ian said. This goes for all of the CM games except Afghanistan. I don't know if that one will be going over to Steam.

ftukfgufyrdy Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Honestly it's kind of wild hopping on and seeing speculations of when CMBN is going to drop from last year. It's been almost a whole year 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
