Okay so this game hasn't gotten a lot of attention, especially for a 40k title, but I feel the need just to vent about this, and hopefully see if a gaming news site will pick this up.

Basically the game was released on Steam back in 2016 to golf claps at best, and it was buggy and poorly optomized. So the Devs, the ironically named Cyanide Studios, announced there would be an Enhanced Edition, with smarter enemies, more customization, more monks chanting, and straight up a better game. And the release of this EE was to coincide with a full console release for both PS4 and the Xbone.
Slated release date was December 5, 2017

The day came and went. No release. Pre-orders from various websites were suddenly changed to reflect new release dates, but none are the same.

All the same game, same edition, same Developer and Publisher and same Console release.

And both the Devs and Publishers have gone media silent.
There's nothing really to do but wait and see. At this point the cynic in me thinks the Console release was scrubbed awhile back and they're just trying to get some cash quick before announcing the studio is closing.

I don't think Cyanide will be closing anytime soon, given that they also developed the Blood Bowl series.

From what I've heard the PC version has improved drastically over it's time for bugs, optimization and server issues, but the core gameplay is still as dull as it ever was.

Most places I find Streum On, the people behind Eye Divine Cybermancy, listed as the developers. Maybe it was a joint project or something.
