Inquisitors,
the release of our upcoming Action-RPG, Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor - Martyr has been pushed back to July 5th, 2018 on consoles: PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. (So please note that the new console release date doesn't affect the PC release date, which is still June 5th, 2018.)
You might have already noticed, but pre-orders were affected by this delay as well, so please follow our console publisher Bigben's announcements regarding this issue (and we'll let you know as well).
As for the background of this delay... well. Despite the complexity of the project and the size of our studio, we really wanted to pull of a simultaneous multi-platform release, but for the best possible release quality, this hard decision had to be made. Console versions will now benefit from an extra month of attention.
We hope you'll enjoy the game on release day as we enjoyed making it, we're committed to bring you something unique in the Action-RPG genre on consoles as well.
The Emperor Protects.
How about a console beta? This would surely help iron out bugs and make us feel better about the delay/wait. Plus if people like it, this could help build hype before the full release.
Yeh fair enough chaps, to be honest looking at all the Bug Reports on the Forum page i am surprised the PC one is out next week, but I work on the bins for Chorley Council so I know nowt about games design... you guys are the experts.
Looking forward to July the 5th...it's right after England get booted out of the world cup in the last 16
COME ON ENGLAND
First you push back PC, Xbox and PS4 because you want to launch on the same day, that was for May 22nd.
Now you push back only Xbox and PS4 but bring the PC on June 5th? What happened to launch on the same day. This looks
very weird to me. You could have just said a month ago that you can't do the May 22nd and be done with it, instead of "We want to launch all 3 on the same day"
Sorry to ask... but if this is impossible why is there Footage on YouTube of PS4 footage albeit the Alpha Version

Posted not really that long ago April this year
Someone has got a version of it somehow... why not the rest of us...(not really wanting to sound like a spoilt brat here but hopefully you see my point)
Sony and Microsoft have clear restrictions for releases of games, because this could affect their network. Which means you cannot just pump out a probably unstable Alpha version.
It's a different matter for the PC version, because this is running on the servers of Neocore, if they break down or crash, it's their own responsibility to fix. But if they crash the servers of Sony or Microsoft, they are in for a lot of trouble.
Thank you for finally clarifying the release date for us. I look forward to seeing the more polished final product next month. You guys are doing a great job!!
-To be fair, the comments here are much less negative than they have been in other posts, but still. Show some appreciation for all the hard work put into this game, instead of only focusing on the negative.
They have been absolutely transparent about development, delays, setbacks, etc. Your charges of dishonesty and poor communication are completely unfounded. We are all disappointed by this news, but that is not an excuse to blatantly lie about their actions.
Things change, the world is a fluid, evolving place and game development is a monumental task. You would do well not to negatively criticize others, I know for a fact you are not perfect and that in your own line of work plans change and things happen that cause delays. That is just how life works.
Level your head, it is in danger of entering your ass.

Thank you for the information.
I was wondering if this was going to happen since I still can't get the imperium edition in the US, sometimes console versions can just take longer, take your time and let's have an amazing launch!

Because Space Marines never lie... especially twice.

And what lies would you be referring to?

PS4
May 11 > June 5 > July 5
And Space marines also veridical, they wont play on words.
It means that things did not go according to plan, through no fault of theirs. It happens, life has a tendency to do that. You are being absurdly immature to make that correlation.
If you were not so focused on calling out their "lies", you would understand and appreciate that it just means they have another month to work on the game before launch.
You reference the Adeptus Astartes, and yet act nothing like them.

This wont change reality does it ?
The reality that we have been deceived my Chaos Marines... Two times in a row.
By the way, I am a game environment artist and I have never postpone a single work assigned to me in my 39 years of lifetime.

They have not lied. That is incredibly odd for you to draw the conclusion that they are liars because the dates got pushed. Despite your personal track record as a single cog in an ever-turning machine, it happens all the time.

As for your personal record, are you claiming that no project you have done art for has been delayed? Because we both know that isn't true. Just because you meet your individual deadline doesn't mean the project is still on schedule.
Now ive had the story of God of war ruined for me peace-meal by my friends talking about it constantly and ive spend the past six months religiously watching Airsickhydras videos to hype myself up for its Wednesday release and i find that its now delayed beyond my birthday.
I completely understand that console ports take extra dev time and i can only imagine the pressure you guys are under but this was a huge bummer :( i made an account just to vent about it.
I think ill treat my wife and daughter to a suprise gift themselves on my birthday instead and wait until the games is reduced.
Best of luck with game! i shall keep following.
Delay is disappointing, its nothing to say here. Nevertheless, i want the game to be good and polished at the release. Also it would be nice to see some information dedicated specifically to console versions (for example, videos of ps4/xbox one gameplay, controls and UI features, graphics resolution and framerate, maybe some news about ps4 pro/xbox one x enhancements)

And those friends of yours. Why don´t you tell them to just STFU ?! Freinds aren´t supposed to give loads of spoilers of games you prefer to wait till you have it yourself.
And you made an Account just to vent about this matter? Well, you made the correct decision to make this Account, because when you are going to play Inquisitor, you gonna need it anyway. In fact, you have to.
Hello,
Does anyone know what FPS will it have on consoles?
I saw some videos on YouTube with ps4 pro and it had same ugly FPS drops...
So its coming to Ps4 on the Jul 5th in Australia is the right ? JB is telling me 31 Jul can and one tell me when ?
I get that this stuff happens, but it's frustrating. I could have paid for the PC copy, but opted for console to play with friends who are filthy casuals.
Seriously can't sigh hard enough.
I was wondering if this was going to happen since I still can't get the imperium edition in the US, sometimes console versions can just take longer, take your time and let's have an amazing launch!
I mean Christ, the fact that the all the servers went off on release day speaks volumes because they did not expect the amount of traffic... really get a new excuse Blizzard have been using that excuse with WOW since da) one and no one believes them.
You screwd up...
it wasnt ready for release (Going off the number of bug reports i see in the forums it and it isn't ready)
So devs please take as long as you like 3/4/6 months to get the console version right, because from what i'm seeing the PC version is crock of sh!t
Anyone know if its been submitted for ps4 cert yet?
I understand the new console release date (PS4) is slated for 7/5/2018.
However, every retailer I have checked (Gamestop, Amazon, etc.) have the console release date for WH40K: Inqusitor Martyr as December 31, 2018.
Can anyone confirm whether the July 5th, 2018 console release date is accurate? I am currently playing WH40K:IM on steam but would much rather play on my console.
Any official feedback would be appreciated!
Because Space Marines never lie... especially twice.
So just to get this straight in my head;
1st - May 11th
2nd - June 5th
3rd - July 3rd
4th - July 5th
5th - August 24th (unconfirmed)
Sorry if I’ve missed some; or gotten some of the dates wrong, but it’s kind of getting hard to keep track at this point, I think everyone will agree.
If this new date is confirmed, it will make it almost a 2 month delay. This I think will put pay to console players having parity of content with their PC counterparts and lead to us being probably a season behind.
If (and I stress that if) this delay does turn out to be correct, the console release now needs to be flawless.
Set this current order state as My default.
