Release date

Official Release Date
September 2006. World-wide release date.

Original Release Date
Obsidian had stated that they were originally "shooting for June 2006", as the release date. However, as time wore on, the June 2006 release date seemed less and less likely. Game stores and the media started estimating a September release. An increasing number of hints were dropped concerning the changing release date before MaverickPR Shane finally announced the change of date of the community forums.

Estimated Release Dates
Below, for posterity, are the older estimated release dates by global location and website.

If a release location was unspecified, then the business location of that website was used. If the business location was also unspecified, then it's assumed that it was a global release date (in most cases US/EU only).

Note: The release dates given by those websites were assumptions by them and thus they wern't official release dates given by Obsidian.
