As the season once again changes, the staff here at the studio continue to work on the final planned expansion for the beloved True Agenda RPG. As of this post, writing is about 70% complete and the art is a little over halfway finished. The expectation is that editing will begin next month with an initial completion date of June. This will put the release almost four months ahead of where we expected it to be when things were discussed at the beginning of the year. This was largely because of the success in completing Wasteland Saloon ahead of schedule, since the original release date for that expansion was set for June.
What does that mean for the rest of the year? There is consideration to begin work on the first expansion for GRID, which was originally slated to be released this year. While it is uncertain whether or not the studio can complete this work before the end of 2024, getting a start on it this fall would mean a potential release in the first months of 2025. Also, as is our tradition, a new game is scheduled to release in 2025, so we must be careful when allocating resources to not impact the new game launch. We expect final decisions will be made once the work on the True Agenda expansion is complete and ready to go the printer.
Regardless of what we ultimately decide, 2024 has been off to a fantastic start, and even if we err on the side of caution, we are on pace to complete what we wanted for the year. Personally, I would like to get working on GRID because I feel we owe it to everyone who has taken a chance on our game systems and to those long-time followers and friends who want the additional content. Keep checking back here to see what is ultimately decided in the coming months and other announcements we have planned as we get closer to 2025.
