Mohawk Games Announces Full Release Date for Old World

In an exciting post on Twitter today, Mohawk Games announced the release date of their hotly anticipated 4X game, Old World, set for July 1st of this year on the Epic Games Store:

Soren Johnson, the respected lead developer and founder of Mohawk Games, is well known for being one of the great minds behind the venerable Civilization IV, which is often cited as the best Civilization entry in the series, along with the excellent Offworld Trading Company. With an amazing team and the incredible support from his amazing wife and now-CEO of Mohawk Games, Leyla, who has also done much of the art direction and writing for the game (as well as the voiceover for the trailer), Old World looks to be a solid entry into the genre with its many innovations, from the Order system to dynastic leaders and dynamic events. No announcement has been made on when Old World will be released on other storefronts, however, we anticipate that a Steam release may be coming in the future.

While the game has been available to the public during it’s Early Access development for the past year, we are excited for Old World to finally hit it’s 1.0 release. Expect a full review of the release version of the game on the site!

Sad they sold out to the Chinese and went to Epic. Looked forward to playing it on steam but I guess I’ll stick with Civilization or Humankind.

To be clear, Epic is American-owned. More importantly, Old World would never have been possible without Epic.

Just food for thought.

The game itself looks awesome, my problem is:
Epic Games’ parent company is Tencent (Owns 45%). Tencent has been known for working hand in hand with the Chinese government. There is also plenty of evidence that China misuses Data and will collect any Data from Chinese Companies. Now I do agree Epic games have given a lot of free money and lowered the cost vs Steam so that helps a lot of indie and small time developers. I do hope in the future if this game goes well that it releases on Steam. And sorry if I came off as a troll, I just dislike China and their practices a lot.

Don’t be sorry! It’s actually a 30% share, but I get it. It’s not ideal. It’s the biggest problem with being a publicly traded company: anyone can buy shares.

Why would you skip steam, I was wondering why I hadn’t heard anything about this title, and this is why, why only epic, you’re killing your chance with that narrowminded approach. Some of us are tired of having 20 launchers to play our one-game collection, and thus don’t use things like epic. Got enough launchers already with the damn game companies making them now. Between ubisoft, origin, steam, and now a dozen steam clones, I have games I haven’t played in forever all because they’re on some launcher I never use. This is getting out of hand. Anyway, just thought I’d let you know you are really killing your game’s chance at success with such narrow-minded boneheaded decisions like that.

Oh and CIV IV was indeed the very best of the series, and had the best mods too. Really fond memories of that game, and I’m an antiquity nut, reading all the classics like Virgels Anead, Homer Illiad, (which I suppose is pre antiquity but let’s not split to many hairs on this post) along with a steady diet of documentaries and grand strategy keeps us going, and you’re losing our business! Open your markets up!

It will come to Steam. I’m absolutely sure of it.
