No longer competing with Halloween

Although Halloween was a fitting release day forNatural Selection 2, Unknown Worlds has bumped up the game’s launch. This mash-up of first-person shooting and real-time strategy is now scheduled to unlock at 5:00pm Pacific on October 30, giving us more time to play without interruption from those pesky neighborhood kids.

Technically, this is only seven hours early (the original goal was to release at 12:01am Pacific on Oct. 31), but it’s rare we get to see games come out ahead of schedule, so I’ll gladly take it, as I’m sure many of you will too. We have a review coming, though the East Coast storm will likely impact when that goes up.
