release date??

By screamformechicago, in Arkham Horror: The Card Game

Sorry for such a mundane question: When is the core set going to be released? I know that those that went to Arkham Nights were able to buy it, but I was not lucky enough to do that. Do we have any sense as to when this will make it "off the boat"?

Arkham nights is this coming weekend. Beyond that no hard date for general release is known.

I would have thought FFG would try to get it out for Spiel Essen, which starts tomorrow and falls together with Arkham Nights? #wishfullthinking

They've said for a while Arkham nights would be the first chance to purchase

Over in the nights forum, I was surprised to hear they would only have copies for the attendees, and only enough for one per person. Someone got an official response from ffg saying that.

Hopefully it'll be out sometime publicly this month.

The online store ozgameshop.com lists release date for core set as Friday 28 October and release date for Dunwich Legacy as Friday 16 December. Hopefully they will be available everywhere by those dates.

Yeah I'm pretty sure it's release will be October 28th

Argh in two weeks i will have gone insane and be babbling in an asylum about horrors out of this world. Just for waiting for this game :D

Ffg release dates are always Thursdays. So that would be the 27th. But the products that just switched to now shipping status are all set to release on the 27th so I have my doubts now. Might be first week of November.

Does that mean it's supposed to be available in game storea for purchase on the 28th? Is there any way to find out which places in my city will be selling it?

I think the assumption is it'll be exlusive to Arkham Nights then a week or two it'll be public. Like gencon.

My guess is that they are holding that info because it is the first release, but other games are not necessarily.

It's delayed indefinitely. Sitting on a Korean company's transport that can't pay port fees. Supposedly a Korean shipping company went bankrupt and all their transports can't off-load. Just my opinion.

Are you sure that this is true? If so, it is very disappointing to have to wait so long to finally get the stuff.

How is stating something as fact considered an opinion?

Because it is not certain that it is on that company's ships. As far as i know it was announced which games were struck by this? And Arkham Horror was not on that list :) Correct me if im wrong.

Do you have a link to that statement? I'd love to read it.

I sadly do not, i think i heard about it in one of the mythos busters episodes. Didnt take more notice since those guys seemed quite confident that it would not be stuck. (And they probably have better access to information than i do) But if you want you could either write to them or try to find the place where they talk about it. "Think it was episode 2 or 3."

Far as I know we never heard whose products are on those boats

That would be a first. If it doesn't get updated today I'd say first week of November so the 3rd. Just in time for Worlds weekend.

Heroes of the Resistance for X-Wing is due to be released on the 27th, and that is now showing "shipping now", whilst AHLCG is still "on the boat", so while I definitely *hope* we'all have it by the end of the month, I agree that early November is more likely... More waiting...

I hope dunwich horror expansion wont be delayed at well :(

Spanish release date has just been set on November 11th (Friday), so I guess November 10th will be the official release date from FFG (maybe one week earlier) ;)
