Episode 5 still locked on Steam

[AlexBlackwood]

Hello, 

I haven't played in around 1 year and I have updated the game however it appears episode 5 is still locked. I am not sure what to do.  Has anyone else experienced this?  Thank you.

Do you mean winter mute or the dlc?   If you mean story then that's because it hasn't been finished yet..it's due out early-ish next year..

[AlexBlackwood]

Thanks for replying.   it is winter mute, I thought I read that it was released but I am wrong.

No problem..  if I remember correctly they did say a while ago they were hoping it'd be out late this year.. 

I hope you have fun playing again..there's been a few changes in the last year.

@Raphael van Lierop said in the October Dev Diary that Wintermute Episode 5 will not release at the end of this year, but will release as soon as possible in 2025:

WINTERMUTE, EPISODE FIVE

You may have noticed that we haven’t announced a release date for Episode Five. Our last update on progress was last December when I said we would launch it by the end of this year. Unfortunately, the episode is not quite ready yet. Wrapping up TALES for the end of this year took up much more time and resources than we originally planned for, including the time needed to redo the Cougar. 

The good news is that with Part Six of TALES coming out in December, that will wrap up our work on the DLC, and from that point onward the *entire* TLD team will be heads-down focused on finishing Episode Five and releasing it ASAP next year. Everyone on TLD will be working on finishing and shipping this final part of our story.

I meant that as a possible explanation of why the op might've thought it was out now...   

When I said a while ago I meant late last year/early this year..  ..
