Post Scriptum delayed until August 9th, Pre-order Beta launching July 18th
Developer Periscope Games pushes back their upcoming 40v40 Multiplayer War game Post Scriptum by 3 weeks. Now launches on August 9th, with a Beta starting July 18th.
The upcoming first person shooter Post Scriptum has been on many gamers radars for a while as it's trying to deliver an authentic War experience with historical accuracy, massive 40 v 40 battles, realistic weapons, vehicles and locations. Originally the game was going to launch this Thursday (July 18th), however the developer Periscope Games has given the game a last minute delay until August 9th to allow further polish with the title to make sure it's running better at launch.
While it's a blow to those who were expecting to get their hands on this multiplayer shooter later this week, it's not all bad news as a Beta is coming July 18th for those who pre-ordered the game and will run until release. In a statement on the Steam page, the developer explains their decision to delay the game a little longer to deliver the best possible experience at launch.
Instead of releasing an unoptimized game on July 18th, we would like to open up a 24/7 open beta period until our new release date. This will allow you to still enjoy and play the game, while helping us collect vital information to resolve all bugs and optimization issues in time for release. Post Scriptum is currently feature complete, and this beta period will allow our team to allocate all resources to bug fixing and optimization.
