    It varies. It can be as early as midnight in their timezone, or later into the day. Press copies are irrelevant as those are given several days early to people so they can review the title.

    What time the Telltale store version for PC gets released? It's already out for minimun 10 hours for some people as a press copy and yeah, consoles have it already released, too....

  • Thread: ep 4??


    it comes today but when

  • Press copies are relevant because for the last titles moderators gave the cheap excuse that Telltale store version gets released so late as they "could" be working still on the pc version. People are asking why Telltale doesn't release their own store version of the game as early as consoles - because this is what it used to be for Games like Game of Thrones, Tales from the Borderlands and Minecraft 1st episode / till a couple months ago

  • Well 1 more hour considering if they release it at 12pm and not any later.

    so much excite!! I just realized what you said...Only one more hour? that's two in the morning for me! good thing it's winter break

    Again, it varies by release for not only each episode but also each platform. I'm not a staff member so I don't know specifics obviously, but sometimes they work on last minute polish for different platform iterations, and other times they are done early. Press copies are technically not final builds, but are close enough, as press copies can also have changes made by the time the public build is released.

    It depends on which platform you're waiting for but it normally releases once the Steam, PSN or Xbox store updates.

  • Why cant steam just release it already...

  • STill not out? Is it that:
    1. Telltale lied to us (the date and time is a LIE)
    2. It's coming a bit later today
    3. There were technical issues so it was postponed
    4. They're releasing it right now but it's taking time

    It's coming soon! Only 2 hours left! #HYPE

  • I'm wondering the same question. RELEASE IT!

  • A midnight release is never a guarantee - they only give a specific day as a general frame of time. It's only 12:20 am in Telltale's timezone, so there's plenty of time left in the day for Telltale to release the episode. ;)

  • Steam generally updates around 10 AM PT. As for Telltale's store, they often update at random times for each episode and there isn't really a set pattern.

    Yep, I know you don't have any real clue why or why not.
    Thing is, the late Telltale store pc version release is about the same time as the late Steam version release, where moderators explained it is because Telltale is a small company and can't have their own release schedule unlike big publishers behind Life is Strange or Evil Within which got midnight releases all the time on Steam.

    The last minute polish can't really be the reason because the late release on the Telltale store platform all started some months ago at the same time for all new episode releases: Game of Thrones, Tales from the Borderlands and Minecraft.

    Like many others I've bought the Telltale store version of those games because they used to release early = about the same time as the console versions, a PST midnight release on the target release date. Personally I even bought Game of Thrones and Tales from the Borderlands even though I've got the full version on Steam already... getting the episodes early as the consoles while supporting Telltale directly was good for me.

    But now I see things have changed and it is not because of last polish or because the pc version getting worked on last.

  • Yeah. I guess that means the 2nd point is true and they'll release it a bit later today

    I'm not a Telltale staff member so i don't know if they have an exact time planned but it will likely release around the same time as the Steam version which is from around 10 AM PST.

    What if you got it directly from the site?

  • And it's only 12:20 there so just a bit more waiting left!

    They're probably doing last minute editing before releasing it.

  • That means:
    Steam people wait for a bit longer
    While Telltale buyers are still wondering when.

    Steam generally updates around 10 AM PT. As for Telltale's store, they often update at random times for each episode and there isn't really a set pattern.

  • 10 AM? Well then... thats a whole 22 hours!!!

  • Or something...10 hours actually

    10 AM? Well then... thats a whole 22 hours!!!

  • Yeah I was guessing. I know that it can't be the polish thing as it's been 30 min already.
    Since Steam updates at 10 AM PT then we have a whole 10 HOURS left. Man this waiting is so annoying!

  • Oh and thats only if Telltale releases it as soon as it comes up on Steam

  • Yeah, last Minecraft episode number 3 was about 1-2 hours later than Steam but all the other 3-4 Telltale episodes before that were about the same time as Steam.

    Oh and thats only if Telltale releases it as soon as it comes up on Steam

  • Why did iOS get it first and all because the spoilers are real and us PC gamers are more likely to buy the season pass and all, it should've come by now tbh because i almost ow know what is the whole episode due to spoilers on the net :/

  • It's still not guaranteed what the time is but based on what I found out it should come AROUND 10 PM PT. Since it's 7:04 pm here that means it's coming at around 4:30 AM in the early morning!!!

  • You should probably just go to sleep if you were planning on staying up. If we were getting an early release, we'd probably have gotten it by now.

  • some youtubers uploaded the episode already, i know vikkstar123 did. wtf.....

  • It's now the 22nd in Telltale's timezone, so the embargo on footage of press copies of the episode is probably lifted. Notable Let's Players on YouTube can sometimes get press copies.

    It hasn't released on Steam yet, the Steam release normally happens from around 10 AM PST so it should hopefully release around 7 hours from now.
