Launch

We are extremely happy to announce that the game has launched on PS4 in European territories. We have also released Earthlock Avatars that you can use for your profile. A few days a go, we sent out a request for all Playstation backers to double check if you had selected the right Playstation territory.

The game is also out physically in stores around in Europe and Oceana today.

The US physical launch is set to February 14th.

8-9 days delay on EU (SCEE) keys

On to the bad, bad news. We submitted a Kickstarter Backer key request to Sony Europe two days ago and although we have been in touch with them throughout the day to try to speed up the process, there is a 10 day processing time on those keys. This will only affect those who have selected the EU region. We have distributed keys to the US region today.

We are of course terribly sorry for this! Still learning, unfortunately.

It is all my fault (Bendik's), so feel free to flame me in the comments section below.

Remaining platforms (GOG and Wii U)

The GOG version is completed. We only need to get all set up with the GOG store. I hope to get it published within the next couple of weeks. I'll let you know as soon as we have a fixed date with GOG.

The Wii U version is giving us some challenges, but we have made great progress. Only the last few scenes remain to be optimised. We hope to enter certification in about 2 weeks. It might be tight, but we are still optimistic about a Wii U launch around the end of February/ beginning of March. I'll keep you posted once we have more precise dates.

The Linux version is still in beta on Steam, but we should be able to divert resources back to it now that we finally got the PS4 version out.

Nintendo Switch is still an uncertainty. Nintendo has not given us a clear response on when we may expect to publish on their new console. Feel free to use social media to let Nintendo know that you want Earthlock on the Switch. (https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica)

First Blog Post

As I have mentioned to some of you in the comments section earlier I will write about Snowcastle and the 5.5 years since we began Earthlock. It's going to be quite a bit of writing on my behalf, but I have gotten started and here is the first part.

That is it for now. We will update you as soon as we get those EU keys.

Again, to all those people I have let down with the delayed keys, I'm so sorry!

Best regards,

Bendik
