as always, take rumours for what they are, but i thought this was very solid info, so i thought i would share.
SPECIALIST GAMES:
--------------------
was chatting to a manager at GW today, he said there were lots of emails going around, but from the sounds of it specialist games will be re-done and released in the same style as dreadfleet, expect bloodbowl in the last quarter of the year.
2013 - bloodbowl
2014 - necromunda/mordhiem
2015 - a whole re release of battlefleet gothic
inquisitor is likely not getting re done due to finecast not able to do models of that size and maintain a decent quality.
GAMESDAY:
------------
after the stuff about the specialist games, i dug a little deeper about all the gamesday cancellations, this info is quite accurate as its from one of the higher ups.
so gamesday is costing to much money, the past 2 years it is said that they have only broken even, so it is not financially able to run a gamesday every year. Australia will cop the worst of this due to the venue in sydney city and the cost of getting all the supplies and everything from the UK outstrips anywhere else in the world.
This been said gamesday is going to shift over the next couple of years. it is going to probably be on a rotating style, with the exception of the UK and USA, they will always have gamesdays every year, with the only changes in the US being that they will rotate different states each year. the more expensive or hard to reach countries will likely be put on a three year rotation, meaning they will only see a gamesday every 3 years, (again possibly Australia and new zealand).
This way they save money and we still are able to consistently get a gamesday cycle happening.
as i said, these are all subject to change and take it as a rumor, it came up today so i thought i would post.
