Backers of Wasteland 2 were recently informed that the final version of the game is slightly delayed. The team reached out on Kickstarter to inform their fans and explain that instead of launching in August 2014 it would likely release in September. Chris Keenan then went on to explain about the early access that was available on Steam for backers and to explain what the game’s development has done for him personally. Quite simply he had this to say on Kickstarter:

“We are still improving the game on the way to our release date. So with the update after this one, you’ll get all of the fixes and polish that is ongoing, which will have a day 1 update for physical disc backers. If you’re receiving your copy in a digital format, the first download will be for the day 1 update and final game. “

The developers also detailed a few of the changes that would be implemented in the patch for physical backers and that the digital backers would experience when the game drops;

When we pulled the changelist from our source control (since the last update), it was 551 uncurated PAGES of bug fixes, polish and iterated features. This list has been reduced down and can be read in its entirety (but why would you want to do that?!?) here. Some of the main things you’ll notice in this build:

• Huge balance pass across all elements of the game
• Enemy AI/Enemy Stats/Damage/Weapons/Dropsets/Skill Use
• Added a mini-map
• Lots of new optimizations to memory and load times
• Tons of new UI improvements (visual and functional)
• New audio added across the board (weapons/enemies/ambient/player events)
• Large visual effects pass in all levels
• Oh-so-much general clean-up/polish and iteration

So look to the second week (or there about) of September to be  receiving digital and physical copies of the final game.
