Now for the question everybody wants answered. When will the patch be released? With content locked and the final QA process underway , I am happy to announce we are now looking at a date before the end of May for the update to roll out. This should be followed by a pre-load (Valve permitting) and free weekend approximately a week later. This is to make sure there will be ample time to prepare and your friends won't have the excuse of not being ready when it is time for the free weekend. We look forward to seeing you in a bigger, better RO 2!
