Torment: Tides of Numenera Finally Gets Release Date

If Planescape: Torment was as important to you as it was for me, you’ll be very excited about the latest Kickstarter update released for Torment: Tides of Numenera. The spiritual successor developed by a team at inXile, with plenty of members of the original team, is getting very close to release. So close, in fact, that the team has finally been able to commit to a date: February 28, 2017.

From the update:

We are extremely excited to announce that Torment: Tides of Numenera will be releasing February 28th, 2017! It has been a long journey, and without your help on Kickstarter it would never have happened. We could not be happier to be delivering a successor to the Torment name and legacy, and we look forward to you enjoying it early next year.

When the game releases, those of you who already have your Steam keys redeemed for the beta version of the game will auto-update to the final build, and those of you who are planning to enjoy the game DRM-free from GOG will be able to as soon as that version is ready. We will also make a key exchange option available around that time for those of you who want to deactivate your Steam key and switch to GOG. At that point, most of the remaining digital rewards will also be made available to you.

For those of you with physical goods, we’ll be prompting you to confirm your final shipping information in the near future. We do not have an exact shipping timeline for those goods just yet, but Techland is hard at work getting them ready for you as soon as possible. Please be sure to keep us advised of any changes by updating your shipping details on the Torment backer web site!

For full disclosure, I’ve previously worked (here at GameBanshee) with two of the developers of the game, Thomas Beekers and Eric Schwarz.
