I was on SD's page on Wikipedia and i discovered a recent update, apparently jagex released a Press Release on september 6th..stating that Stellar Dawn will infact be released within the next 12 months after September 2011. There are 2 sources btw.

The game is slated for a 2011 launch.[3] As of September 2011 the most recent change to Stellar Dawn's homepage was on 18 November 2010,[6] which has lead some to believe that, like MechScape, the game may have been scrapped. A September 2011 press release stated that the game would be released within the next twelve months.[7]


This part is taken from GamaSutra in an interview with their new marketing chief

“I am really excited to be welcomed into the Jagex team,” commented Wendy Rosenthal. “Jagex has been creating amazing games which entertain millions of people, young and old, in over 200 countries across the world for the last ten years. This in itself is a very exciting prospect from a marketing perspective. The company will not only be investing in great game content for RuneScape, but on developing and growing other titles, and for the first time focus will also be on marketing not just amazing content. Over the coming months we will, through marketing, be looking to engage with audiences from all over the world to mirror the way our phenomenal Community Management team engage with our vast, and dedicated existing community. We have a hugely exciting twelve months ahead with the release of 8Realms, Transformers Universe TM and Stellar Dawn and very soon the noise from the Jagex corner will have people sitting up and listening. There are some who may think they know Jagex, and some who do not, but if you think you know Jagex then think again and watch this space!”

True...though it is supposed to be from their marketing chief...i'de trust a marketing chief for the game in all honesty, more so than somebody else from the "old guard" at this point in time..but that's just me.

Most likely they'll make a statement in August 2012 that the game isn't quite ready and "will be released in the next twelve months". I know, I know... I'm being a complete pessimist. But them announcing a release window of sometime in a year + the fact that the game has already been delayed multiple times = I'm a little skeptical on their abilities. I'd rather they just shut up completely until the exact day they decide it's done and surprise us all. Enough with these stupid release estimates.

Does the Press release state that the game is not coming out this year? Because 2011 is still inside the 12 month definition.

I dunno though, just being hopeful. Chances of a disappointing change in the plant: 95%

Hey everyone, let's get our hopes up over the tiniest bit of information! It's been a good idea to do that in the past, right? =D

Does anyone know anything about getting rid of or controlling hypnagogic hallucinations? Like most non-politicians, I have a pretty active imagination and seem to always see four-armed demons coming to rape me with massive shafts of fire :(.

11 more months of this community! Pliigi should be disembodied because he's not the perfect bot. I'M GLAD that Stellar Dawn is going to take this long. I don't want this community to change even if I know that it will eventually. Call me insane but SDC Current Community › Stellar Dawn. With the huge influx of new members, it just won't be the same.

(for some reason nobody in the research team has discovered this)

Pliigi should be disembodied because he's not the perfect bot.

I'm the one who added this to Wikipedia, and I posted it the day this was released:

We have a hugely exciting twelve months ahead with the release of 8Realms, Transformers Universe and Stellar Dawn and very soon the noise from the Jagex corner will have people sitting up and listening. There are some who may think they know Jagex, and some who do not, but if you think you know Jagex then think again and watch this space!

This was in a press release, so it seems unlikely that she wasn't supposed to say it.

So does this means that the complete game will be released in 12 months or just the Beta?

The word "release" makes it sound like the full release, not a closed beta release, though that's pure speculation.

The beta depends on the company. I was invited to the closed beta for Tabula Rasa in late July and it didn't launch until August that year, while I played the closed beta for Mortal Online and Xsyon respectively for well over a year before those games launched. If Jagex follows tradition (one instance with Runescape), the beta might last three months.

I had a feeling Stellar Dawn wouldn't launch this year when they said in May that the game was in internal alpha. Jagex might perform the occasional miracle, but they're going to need all the runes in RuneScape to turn an internal alpha into a release-candidate in less than seven months. http://www.stellarda...showtopic=17767

Oh..i never saw that i guess :\ it is interesting though that there is no mention of a beta but rather it refers to Stellar Dawn as if they'll be releasing the full game.

I'll be expecting a 2012 release to be honest, though obviously if it comes anytime between now and december 2011 i'll be happy...but i won't be expecting it.

From what I understand they said that 8Realms, Transformers Universe and Stellar Dawn will be released in the next 12 months. Correct me if I have misunderstood, but that just means that last of these three games will be released then. Stellar Dawn might have beta released sometime in 2011 and the game might come early 2012 but it could mean that Transformers Universe will be coming towards the end of the next 12 months, not Stellar Dawn. That's just my own interpretation anyway but I still have faith in Jagex that they are going to keep to 2011.

true...in all honesty now that you brought that interpretation to my attention...it does seem logical and sensical to release Stellar Dawn ahead of the other 2...considering they've been working on SD for many years now, if you count its predecessor Mechscape, considering they melded some of what they learnt and made into SD to expedite the process.

Perhaps it will be released by December or January then

Wow! I always knew (hoped) it would come out this year and now that seems even more likely!
