Fatshark CEO Martin Wahlund states that a strict release dates can hinder a game's release if it doesn't allow developers to polish the game.
Following a period of early access, Fatshark has today opening the Warhammer: Vermintide 2 Versus Alpha test to all players.
Closed alpha for the new Warhammer Vermintide 2 Versus mode has recently ended, with the second round of testing available soon.
Fatshark's Warhammer: Vermintide 2 Versus alpha test has gone live, allowing 10,000 players to experience the upcoming PvPvE game mode.
Well the developers need to be at a set point in development before they can put a garuntee on the date. Its up to them to know if they can get it done and polished in a realistic time frame. IMO, the game should be playable from start to finish before a date is set. Then from there they have time to polish,bug test,and any other sort of fixes before the release date. All we get now are ship now fix later type of mentality.
