Hmm, it sure seems that way! In accordance of an interview from WhatIfGaming, it appears that there will be a Beta in September and the full release in October with no hesitation!
Alex Evans, Co-Founder, Media Molecule: We’re ready for it, and this game just has to get out October. Mark (Healey) is having a boy soon and this bad boy has to be done before then.
WhatIfGaming: So, no delay…nothing? Solid for October 2008 on Blu-ray disc only?
AE: Yes. There will be no delay and it will be ready then.
WhatIfGaming: So, the beta will take place September?
AE: You got it. Absolutely.
WhatIfGaming: So, is it for underground members only or will there be a site for selection or something?
AE: It will be a public beta, but limited at the same time. We will disclose that info when we’re ready.
As if that was it! There’s even a Target Reservation Card with the date of October 21st 2008 as the release date, it’s subject to change, but with this interview, it sounds solid.
