A caption says: "EC will be released on 23rd September. Wish us luck in the fight against Battlefield 1"

Nathan on Steam:
"We will keep on fixing the broken systems while others finalize implementation of new systems, such as the improved Advancement trees and release a patch next week. The meta-game team is also working on it's redesigned implementation which I find pretty cool but it's not slated for the next patch."
Next week.

Well all they gotta do is flip a switch.

Nah man that's all they do.
I'm just quoting the devs here.
They're just gonna flip a switch.

Why do i have the feeling its a battle that we will not win?

you can loose a battle and still win the war
(be aware it's not a an opinion I have about the outcome of EC vs BF1 but just a fact! Do they even aim for the same market? E.g. I don't care about BF1 but want to have a good 40k game)

There will definitely be overlap for the same player base. They are aiming for team oriented gamers who want strong teamwork and the ability to fight a tactical battle.

All previous game patches stitched together into one big patch "quilt" that says "We're updating the game next week. See you then!"

And against the berserk musou also slated for september 23!

At least that's keeping in the 40k spirit.
