I think it's safe to assume that early access is delayed. As expected.
The development of this game has been a total trainwreck since 2012. I dread to think what we didn't see.
There is no excuse for not posting consistent dev blogs so close to early access. After 8 years of development you're already on thin ice suggesting you need an 'early access'.
The comms for taleworlds is just awful. Right from the moment you released a trailer for a project you'd not even process mapped in 2012.
