    Really? This game was supposed to make it out within a month or two of the PC release, September at the latest. Now it might even take till November to release.

    Kinda feels like mobile was the given the middle finger for this one.

    The PC post-release was dedicated to tweaking the gameplay mechanics based on player feedback and squashing bugs. If you look at the update history, there's so many changes in the game from launch to the latest test version that made me stop going all-out in play grinding to reach Canada.

    By the time they release Death Road on iOS, players will get the best experience as possible. It will be worth the wait.

    You guys these guys are well known for taking time to finish and tweak things. I don't think they have ever kept a deadline so take it with a grain of salt . It's been years what's 3 more months ? I wouldn't even be surprised if this didn't come out till October. Who knows really at this point

    Sorry for the frustration but you have got to be kidding me. It seems to get further and further away the more you get asked.

    Yeah, it's probably going be a different estimate every time I'm asked. I forgot I shouldn't give estimates. We never really know for sure until a sale date is approved by Apple, which usually gives about a 2 week warning. There's also iOS-specific features we still want to get in or improve.

    The more accurate answer that I'll give from now on: "The game is out when we're told we can launch it". I think I gave the same launch date for Wayward Souls, up until 2 weeks before it launched. This prediction's never wrong.

    It's up to Apple? Why is that? I thought it was because you guys were still working on the game. My mistake for misunderstanding.

    It's both. You can't launch a game right away even when it's done. You have to submit it to Apple, then wait for a review process to be approved for launch. Before that, there's still iOS specific features we need to do, like Game Center achievements, tweaking the controls to be better, having the game resume properly no matter what (phone calls etc), and some other things.

    This.

    The wait still going to kill me though. Lol

    Take your time, guys! People need to keep in mind that they are very busy answering to feedback and tweaking the game. I stopped playing a little after the launch and I am sure that I am going to get a very different experience when I finally get to play on iOS.

    What is already great is going to be even better. Keep up the good word! It's your fault for making us anxious, since you provide top notch games. ;)

    I agree. Take your time and get it right. We know you guys are busting your butts to deliver the best possible product. We also know you take a long view and continue to support your games long after other developers would have dropped support. You've earned our trust. So please take as much time as you need and we'll be here (im)patiently waiting.

    You know what might be a cool weapon to add to the game? A lightsaber! :D slicing these zombies in half would be pretty dope. Really excited for this game! Watching people play on Twitch and it looks awesome.

    I think a rare character with this weapon would be cool. One that could exclusively wield it.

    We should do Mickey Mouse with a lightsaber so we get DOUBLE SUED by Disney.
