Hey guys,
Found out TQ II is in early access on that other store. But. will the final game be available on launch day here considering THQ Nordic owns the IP ?

thanks
Nigs (loved the original back in the day!!!)
I believe not.
The 'other store' and another one is marked at their website, but GoG is left out.
That sure is a pretty game. I hope it turns out as great as the first.
thq seems fairly cool with gog, didn't darksiders 3 launch day 1 here?
Probably it will, THQ usually release games on GOG, but it's not good at keep track of beta updates and early access games on other stores besides Steam, so it's more probably they release the full game here when the time comes!
If, then only after it's fully released. GOG is not really conducive to Early Access/Beta games with very active development.

But definitely hope it does.

I asked the magic 8 ball ( https://magic-8ball.com/ ), it said: "Outlook not good". Sorry.
I think we already had unofficial confirmation when somebody asked on the official Discord, and got a reply to the effect of: "Sure, will be on GoG, when it reaches v1.0 gold status."

Great.

Here is good overview video about the current state of the game if anybody doesn't mind seeing before release:

Why not Early Access too, though? I'm not a fan of EA, but for TQ 2 I'd be willing to make an exception and buy it. I don't know about other games, but they had Songs of Conquest in the store while it was still in development, so there's at least one precedent.

(plus on TQ's website Q&A they stated that price will increase as they add new stuff, so... it'd be cheaper to get it now.)

I dunno about that. I thought "30$ is a great price", but then I watched a gamestar video on TQ2 and they said
that the game will be released in acts. So now I'm thinking its like Starcraft 2 and each new part of the game
will be an extra charge.

SC 1 had 30 missions, Wings of Liberty 29. They just decided to tackle each campaign as its own game. You did not get just 10 missions for each race.

Regarding Titan Quest 2, the only monetization after the initial purchase is going to be expansion packs. I assume the post-release model is going to be the same as the original Titan Quest or Grim Dawn. Being able to buy just the base game without the expansions.

But yeah, the question here is what about the EA period. If they are going to be bumping up the price of the main game as pre-release development goes on, GOG buyers won't be able to get in while the price is at its lowest.

Found the Q&A that I read, it's not on the game main's page but on epic games' store page (not sure if I can post link here, so I'll just copy-paste):

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?
We plan to develop additional masteries, new content and world segments, stories and quests as well as new supporting features to enhance the game’s longevity like crafting. We plan to release these things as Early Access updates as soon as they are ready. The cadence of updates we plan is small updates (bugfixes, balancing, minor polish updates) monthly (can be skipped if nothing major is needed) and major updates roughly every 3 months which will add major new features, mechanics and/or content.

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?
The Early Access pricing will be significantly lower than the price of the completed game at the release of version 1.0. We plan to increase the pricing in stages until the launch of version 1.0.
So based on that it doesn't seem like it's going to be a SC2-model, more like a Songs of Conquest model, where they added the faction campaigns for each race - among other things - one after another (they did not charge extra for those, though). So here, that would be equivalent to more acts, I guess, or further quests if the game is not split into acts, and they will increase the price as they release these new acts / quests as patches (probably) for the base EA game.

What kinda worries me is that "significantly" lower price... it's 24€ now, with 20% discount, 30€ full price... so if that is "singnificantly" lower then... what? The 1.0 game will cost 100€? :O
