Technically June, but whatever...
Dead Frontier 2's Early Access launch date was revealed, and it's on the 31st of August. AdminPwn wanted to release it sooner [July or possibly June] but decided against it. The game still required some more work before it can be released with acceptable quality.
And now, the Alpha Test. Testers will be picked from the Dead Frontier 2 Discord server, and it'll most likely be those that are somewhat active. The Alpha Test phase will begin around the middle of June.
Then there's the Dead Frontier 1 > Dead Frontier 2 Cosmetic Rewards. The rewards can be earned by reaching several milestones in the game, like getting a Dusk Enforcer if you have a maxed level DF1 account.

| Looks slick; really captures the DE's look from DF1 quite well. |
The most basic milestone rewards is the Nomad Armor set. You get the boots and gloves at level 20, the leg piece at level 50, the body piece at level 100 and the mask at level 200.

| Not a bad looking set; will be seeing plenty of these during release. |
So yeah... even those who didn't spend a dime in DF1 can earn something outta this. I have yet to reach a certain level which I've planned to get to for a long time, so maybe I'll make a small push towards it now...
...if I have the time, that is.
Plenty more screenshots of the rewards over at the Creaky Corpse blog post, linked below.

A trailer for the game has been created...
Admin was hard at work with the game during the last few weeks. Most of it was bug fixing and polishing up the game.
There were some features left to be implemented before Early Access arrives, just some non-essential items like support system, the DF1 reward system, name reservation and achievements. Closed Alpha Test would begin the next day.
He originally planned the EA version of the game to be 100% completed as of that date, and that he can place his focus on marketing and hyping the game up. But this wasn't achieved as he had stuff left to do, like bug fixes and responding to Alpha Test feedback.
Then we have some new screenshots, they look good as before.
More over at original post, so I recommend checking that out. Links below...
Official Trailer, New Screenshots and More
5th August, 2018
A 10-ish minute video of raw gameplay footage was posted, showing what many people people wanted to see.
Alpha Testing went well, and any problems, issues or bugs found/encountered was quickly taken care of.
About less than a month away from the game's release, and there's still stuff to be done. The game is still slated to be released on 31st August regardless.
DF1 > DF2 reward system is currently his main focus, and should be ready within a few days.
8th August, 2018
The rewards system was done, and now DF1 players can link their emails and receive milestone rewards.
It's mainly a set of instructions and additional info on how to set up the link, and also some important info about the link-up.

And here we are at the most recent update...
Basically, the game was pushed back to September 5th. Issues with the servers caused for some extra work needed to be done, and releasing the game either way on 31st August will be a very bad move. So in order to avoid disaster on launch day AND to properly set everything up again, the game will be delayed.
Most of the time was used to clear out as many bugs as he could find. He could rush and still make it to the promised launch date, but that'll be devastating to him and his game if things go south.
As he said, "Releasing on the 31st will probably mean super slow servers, tons of bugs that could lead to lots negative reviews. It's just not worth risking it."
So it ends there. There's about a day left before the game goes live, so there's that.
Pretty excited to see what's in store for us. I know there's plenty of DF2 videos around already, but I prefer to experience everything first-hand. Don't wanna ruin the first few moments!
And that's all there is to it. Sorry if this post seems very... empty. It's currently 2:30 AM here, and I haven't really been getting regular sleep since I had a rather busy moment these past few days.
Nevertheless, I'm still waiting for the release of Dead Frontier 2. Should be a good one... I wonder if I should record some gameplay to be posted here? Maybe I'll think about it...
Until then, stay tuned. Here's to the release of DF2 soon!
