Crate Entertainment announced this week in a new kickstarter update for Grim Dawn they are ready to release Act 3 Chapter 2, and will release Act 4 this summer.

The release of Build 24 draws near, which will unlock the second chapter of Act 3 and what might have otherwise been the end of the game. However, when we began building Act 3, we found that there was just too much that we wanted to include for one act. Thus, we have expanded Act 3 to include new story content, quests and a faction (the Black Legion) that were not part of the original plan and some content originally planned for Act 3 has been pushed into a new Act 4!

We're still planning to create an expansion after release, so this basically means you're getting a lot more content in the first release for free. Thanks to your generous support and our continued early release sales, what was originally intended to be a 15 hour small-scope ARPG has grown into probably 30+ hours (first-time play-through estimate for average players). The new act will feature an extension of the story, more quests, frozen mountain passes, alpine valleys, a sprawling fort, burning battlegrounds, necropolis, catacombs and the chthonic void!

Some more details are included in the latest Grim Misadventure on our forum.

You can expect Build 24 with Act 3 chapter 2, by the end of February. We plan to release B25 with the updated faction system and other goodies, probably in March or April. The follow big content release, Act 3 chapter 3, will probably release in May and feature faction questing between the Order of Death's Vigil and Kymon's Chosen. Act 4 will begin rolling out in early summer. Despite the announcement of a new act (and there's more to come) we still plan to finish the game before the end of the year.

These folks have done a really great job. A bit slow I will admit but beyond that class A act and class A results. I hope they still have some sales from the game after it is finished and are able to do the expansion/part 2.

Also hope they are able to deal with the snow :)

I enjoyed the beta, but it has been in beta a very, very long time. I'm not getting any younger, but I'll wait till the full release in 2017 to play it again ;)

Yeah, it seems like it's taking forever - and I'm honestly not seeing anything that can justify that much time spent on the damned thing.

But I've got it on Steam - and I'll have a bit of fun with it when it finally does get released.

I played a few hours cooperatively with my brother - and it was fun. Unfortunately, it was unstable and performance was abysmal for how little is going on.

I certainly don't agree that incompetent developers should have free rein when targeting older people.

That would make the games hard to play, as the audience could well be dead upon release ;)
