What an amazing wave of interest - We are glad that presenting Partisans 1941's Demo was a great success for all parties involved - you got some great game time and we got some great feedback!
We are at the moment in our final period before releasing the game, which is why our development team at Alter Games and our publishing team here at Daedalic Entertainment are putting all of their effort into finalizing the release.
This obviously doesn't mean, that we are not reading every post or message you are sending our way - only answering them one-by-one individually becomes a bit more difficult during this time of production.
To counter this, we selected some of the most frequent asked questions from the steam forums and tried to answer as good as we can at this point in time:
When is it going to be released?
As written on our store page of Partisans 1941 we have aimed to release "Summer 2020" and it looks so far like everything is going like planned, so that we can release the game end of this season. We hope to announce a precise release date soon.
Are you going to have Win7 support?
This is a bigger topic, that we keep on discussing further internally - but generally it is extremely difficult to maintain support for a system that the creators themselves have stopped supporting. We just don't have the capacity at the moment to deal with inevitably upcoming difficulties with those versions, as additionally, if we were to support Win7, we (in context of fairness) would have to support other out-of-date systems, as well.
What about censorship? Is it going to be worldwide, or maybe different versions for different regions?
Again, a bigger topic - You are correct, that in germany, where Daedalic Entertainment is based, the law about the depiction of this kind of symbols was updated recently - Unfortunately when releasing/publishing a game worldwide, though, there are multiple juristications we have to care about.
And even if all the countries would allow it generally, we are working together with multiple partners to ensure a favorable release - partners that could have very different internal rules or perspectives on what they want to advertise and promote.
Since there are so many various opinions about this topic - ranging from historical authenticity to the opposite spectrum, that asks, why we should give that ideology (in combination with their symbols) anymore "stagetime" in any shape or form - we need to discuss this topic further internally.
One of the already discussed ideas could be an optional setting - but this would surely have to wait until after release and would have to be checked beforehand, if this is even possible.
Is it going to be released on the consoles? PS4, Xbox One etc.
As with most titles of Daedalic's portfolio, we are always trying to reach as many players on as many plattforms as possible. Eventhough for now the release on PC is our focus, this means that we are looking as well forward into the future to Partisans 1941 on consoles.
Any other shops? GOG, EGS?
This will be basically the same answer as for the console question - the more, the merrier!
The only difference is, being connected to our PC release as well - so you can expect news on this regard earlier than news on future console releases.
Thanks for your attention and your already great support - we can't wait to release and show you what we got prepared for you! Stay tuned for more infos!
Best Regards - Alter Games and Daedalic Entertainment
