Why not tomorrow? Or even today? Their historical release data shows that Monday and Tuesday are the most likely candidates for launch.

Wednesday is probably good day too as game breaking bugs can be solved before weekend starts.

And once again, they are in Pacific time, it's not even 10AM at Hinterland office yet. Obviously they are going to do launch when their support team is staffed, so no 3AM launches (even though Europe would love it). There is a small possibility it could still come out today.

The best date for the launch is today, but there is no movement.I hope it will be released later in the night.We are looking forward.

Note: Raphael could at least come out today and give information in advance.

To be very blunt, I don’t think a difference of a few days will really matter that much…

We’ve waited a few months, I think we can survive the next few days .

Honestly, it's probably best not to foster expectations... better to just wait for word.

All I'm trying to convey is that it will be ready when it's ready... and when it's ready, I'm sure Hinterland will tell us.

I think that creating expectation based on an assumption, is often how folks end up giving themselves a lot of disappointment.

When you saw the gif…. Did you giggle even just a little though??

I was making a joke 🙂👍🏼

@Semple Fi
Oh, I didn't assume anything negative about your reply.   
Yes, it gave me a genuine chuckle...

I thought it was well played.

But I also thought I might clarify my previous post just a little bit more.

Thank. You!

Zombie Wolf day, I can"t wait!!

The more I think about it, the more I expect there will be little to no food in the ZoC. What with the recipes and low weight of cooked items, it would make total sense for it to be an incentive to cook more / make use of what was implemented in the previous update. We'll see.

Hinterlands YouTube channel has added a 27th (unavailable) for now video to their Game Update Playlist. 

The 26th video was for Frontier Comforts.

Brace for an incoming update!

hope I'm wrong, but 2 videos suggests we'll get a short teaser first, with the release trailer a few days later.

There's only one hidden video, as far as I can see. And Raphs post on twitter further suggests a release today:

there's 2 showing as hidden on the 'official teasers and trailers' tab- but yes, that twitter post is a good sign we might be playing later today!

You're right, there's 2. I was looking at the "Game Updates - The Long Dark" playlist. There's only one hidden video.

The last update was around mid-day, but I can't remember any of the previous ones.

If I remember correctly, it was usually 6-8pm CET.

That's what I'm hoping for (would mean 9 am PST?) but it does contradict the "6-8pm CET" above...

6pm CET would be 9am PST.

Ah, my bad! I was thinking CST for some reason. That would mean a bit more than 3 hours to go! 🤩
