Finish Wintermute before story/survival separation?

Hi, should we finish Wintermute (at least EP 4) before the separation in two apps of the story and survival mode? Or will there be migration options? Thanks.

If I understand it correctly, this separation will only happen on the level of code. It would still be the same .exe file. Basically, nothing changes for us, players, but Hinterland can test new features faster this way.

Oh really? So two games but still one store entry? Will this work on Steam or other stores? Well maybe through a launcher. Ok, but even in this case there is a question about savegame/compatibility.

I think hinterland will try to make the transition as seem less as possible. However I would always recommend backing up your save file manually before an update.

I think the separation would be "just" forking the maps data files. So it may result in bigger space occupied on drive. The game executables and artwork can be same for both forks.

I wonder if the one could just rename a map package so he would be able to explore the story maps in sandbox.
