Wow, early 2015 is going to be fucking bonkers.

 

[keltickennedy]

Damn...that just pushed Witcher 3 back for me. Batman takes priority. Which is good cause I wanted to wait to hear people impressions of The Witcher on consoles anyway and if I instead need to save up for a computer upgrade.

 

[therealminime]

I really hope they don't release this and The Witcher 3 on the same day it would be brutal trying to decide which to play first and having the two competing with each other.

 

[Cyberia]

Falls in line with Fergal Gara's (PlayStation UK Managing Director) comment recently:

"The positive of that is 2015 will get off to a great start. Whether we take the Batman title or The Order: 1886, these are just two examples of key titles that can get 2015 off to a good start."

Correction, ALL of 2015 is going to be fucking bonkers.

 

[border]

Is there anything to prove that this isn't just a placeholder date?

 

[Chamber]

I'm still hoping for January just to give space to The Order and The Witcher 3 but whatever. Like I said before, Batman takes priority for me over just about anything else.

Wow, early 2015 is going to be fucking bonkers.

Q1 is often better than Q4 in my opinion. I think March has historically been a great gaming month.

 

[L1NETT]

Remember when CDPR said they moved to Feb to get away from the rush of games?

Now look!

February would be pretty crazy if this is true

 

[border]

Wasn't Dying Light also slated for February 2015? If so, that month is getting as packed as October 2014 (for me) with the purchases I want...

Dying Light comes out on September 30.

If the Microsoft Store is to be believed.

 

[neogaffer1]

Feb 20 - Order 1886
Feb 24 - Wicher 3
Feb 24 - Akrham Knight
Feb TBA - Dying Light

Of those four games, three are published by Warner Bros. They're literally cannibalizing their own titles for no real reason.

No, they delayed the game with the blogpost that said that they needed more time to make the game better.

Dying Light can be early Feb, and W3 is published by WB only in NA.

 

[Some Nobody]

Unfortunate. I'm way more hyped for The Witcher 3. I'll still prolly pick this up in March tho.


...Damn, 2015 trying to destroy my wallet tho.

 

[Bluekaveli]

W3 on PC
Batman and Order on PS4

 

[RoboPlato]

I doubt WB will release both Witcher and Arkham on the same day.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

DAmn! Guess it's time to save up.

Oh my god this has me laughing so hard.

 

[Bsigg12]

There's a reason. They're getting them out before the end of the fiscal year.

 

[Dany]

WB is publishing Witcher? Woah weird.

 

[sweetvar26]

What the fuck, three major releases in the same month.

It is going to get the sales of one another, why not space them out?

 

[Opt1kon_]

Crazy thing is, i have both of these games pre ordered already threw amazon & The order 1886 pre ordered CE threw gamestop I'm just in luck if this is the case

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

Something needs to be delayed a month or two.

 

[Nirolak]

That seems like a generally appropriate release date for a game of this tier, and it will easily bowl over their competition in terms of sales potential.

 

[bidguy]

WB is publishing Witcher? Woah weird.

only in europe i think

 

[DieH@rd]

only in europe i think

No, WB is publishing it in NA. Namco Bandai is covering Europe.

I dont think that WB had any say in Witcher's release date. But they could easily control when AK will be out.

 

[erawsd]

Isn't Warner Brothers publishing Witcher 3 as well? That seems very strange if this is true.

Well, my guess is that WB doesn't have too much control over when Witcher releases, the game has 5 publishers across varying regions. If this is accurate (its probably not), I wouldn't be surprised if Batman's date is moved around since it isn't official.

 

[Nirolak]

It's also much more of a distribution contract with an advance loan that actual publishing too, so I'm not sure they care about optimizing The Witcher 3 at all whereas Arkham Knight is their flagship game.

 

[Liha]

Feb 20 - Order 1886
Feb 24 - Wicher 3
Feb 24 - Akrham Knight
Feb TBA - Dying Light

It makes me sad that the day has only 24 hours. The next problem is, what should we play first?

Buy 4 Ps4's and play them at the same time?

[Jimmyfenix]

The Order 1886, The Witcher 3 and Batman Arkham Knight all in the same month...

My b-day month rocks!!!

If true this will join Witcher 3 ON MY BIRTHDAY

 

[RPGamer92]

Awesome, glad it's not a big Watch Dogs-style delay.

 

[wenis]

So this is how I'll probably end up buying these things.

Feb 24th - batman

April - everything else when all that other shit is like 10-20 bucks cheaper

 

[demosthenes]

I can't really play games in February due to it being my busy season so I'm going to have a fuck ton of games to play in April.

[Ceebs]

If Batman comes out the same day as The Witcher 3, it will be waiting until it's first Steam discount.

 

[Markitron]

If that's the date then The Order and The Witcher better get the hell outta the way!

 

[robotrock]

Batman's probably going to be like 8 hours long so I'll get out of the way before I start monster epic Witcher 3

 

[Genio88]

lol isn't Quantum Break also out in Feb?

Unfortunately not, or it would jump on top of my list, anyway for me it'll be Batman followed by Witcher 3 when i'll be done with the dark knight.

 

[Dabanton]

It's not even the money that's the issue for me. It's the time.

Adult life is busy enough that having time to delve deep into one game is enough, having two massive open world games that I want out within a short amount of time. Is just bad planning.

If Batman would have been released before the xmas holiday I would have had the entirety of the Christmas holiday to play it through. I swore to myself that I wouldn't be doing what I did in the PS360 era i.e buying 2-3 full price games and not being able to concentrate on one game.

 

[strafer]

I can't wait that long. I need my Batman fix.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

FEBRUARY 2015: OCTOBER'S REVENGE

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Didn't Kevin Conroy say January?

Same day as witcher 3 otherwise, ouch :/

 

[Nizz]

From one cluster fuck of a month to another...

You are absolutely on the money. I cam easily afford the games, but I don't have as much time as you used to have when I was younger. I might have to buy one on release and buy the other a few weeks later.

 

[PhantomZone]

Looking forward to it, i can pick up Witcher 3 any time, Arkham Knight takes priority.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

I can't wait that long. I need my Batman fix.

Play arkham origins, close your eyes, go to the nearest arcade that has that Batmobile arcade game, put in tokens and them open your eyes. It'll be like playing AK

You forgot to mention "after you die" due to walking and/or driving in public with his eyes closed.

Spring, what kinda advice izzat?

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

February is the new October

this

shit not enough time to recover teh gaming warchest!

 

[SugarDave]

Sorry B-Man, got a date with Geralt that day.

Spoiler

I'm guessing this is wrong anyway.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

The same day as The Witcher 3. Fuck.

Yeah. This would fucking suck.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

They need to delay The Order to Summer 2015, especially if Bloodborne is coming out in March

 

[Lulubop]

I doubt WB will release both Witcher and Arkham on the same day.

This.
