What's going on with this game? Anyone know? It was at Gencon with a playable demo and they were doing some fair press releases on the site. Now we are only getting 1 press release a month. I was hoping this game would be available before the holiday season.
Anyone have any idea? I really need my card game fix since I've stopped buying in to Warhammer...
Current rumors have it looking like a February release time frame.

Two posts from Andre and Cerberus:

"English rules are ready and at German translator"
"FFG has first right, we will publish german rules online after FFG has published english ones"
Does anybody know if FFG is on a break this week from updates?
Traditionally yes, however I am seeing new articles up today for some of the games.
I've also stopped getting W:I battle packs.
Waiting for the release of the new puppy!
I was for a while getting GoT and W:I but after the corruption cycle ended I dropped W:I, game was too out of balance and lost its fun for me. New preview for LotR just went up. "Keepers of the Lore"
Maybe it's taking longer to develop the first cycle of adventure packs than expected? Can't just release a core set without an expansion cycle queued up and ready to go.

That would be nice. I played the demo at GenCon 2010 and I have been looking forward to this in a big way ever since.
So, what do you think guys (and gals, I assume)? Are we going to get some new info tomorrow, are they going to start stepping up the previews or are they going to continue the every other week thing?
The every other week thing
According to the german publisher Heidelberger release date for the english and german version is April 2011.

That is closes to the truth. The game will be published in Spring 2011. The official release date is unknown to this day.
I was expecting a much later release date than early speculation gave us. April sounds right, unfortunately...
Oh well...it's hard to wait, but better than rushing it out with problems, etc.

Absolutely. Let's never forget this.

I still expect loop holes so great Sauron might disappear in.
As the following wednesday passed without any info about this game, does anyone know when can we expect the next scrap of information?
It looks like we are back on the monthly update. <sigh>
It will come out right after Duke Nukem Forever.
Ironically this threat isn't as frightning anymore as in 1999
So I just noticed that in the online store Thought Hammer, within the past few days this game has gone from "Publisher's Estimated Release Date: Q1 2011" to "Publisher's Estimated Release Date: April 2011." Hmm. Here's the relevant link:

Yeah I'm seeing more and more sites saying April... Dang. But at least the release timing is becoming a little more clear.
I've figured April pretty much since it was announced, going on past ffg experience. FFG upcoming though still has it as in development as opposed to having made it to the printers yet.
It still says in development, not even at the printers or on the boat(2 months away).
So realistically summer seems to be the earliest for this game.
They announced this waaaaay to far in advance!
