It's going to be late this year at the earliest. Early next year more likely.

Platinum passes suck. I have access to the development version.

I heard wispers that the secret site requires a complex initiation which involves ethanol, furries, and tentacle monsters.

Not worth it, imho.

you scare me.

I mean, you already did... but.

even more now.

All I can tell you is that it requires a parrot, an eye patch, a peg leg and something you do every time Yarlen says, "Now dance for me matey!"

Ty for the "on topic" answer, believe it or not the Original Poster was probably being sincere in his question as I too was curious for a rough date of its release, now I know roughly when it might be I can relax, and stop constantly checking there website on a daily basis

I thank you for the gift of the time.

I support this.

Well, it is not a crappy answer... in fact, i like it... soase was never rushed and it was, is and remain a good game... some of your other game who was with a good potential was somehow rushed and result was not so good...

Take your time and when it is ready, give us something awesome !!!

Just the fact is I've purchase the "Upgrade" version, so obviously i had to pay for it up front, just to set my mind at ease, knowing, just to find out when its release date, or, when its going to be announced, just so i can stop panic and to know that a really good game is bringing out, a good Exp-Pack

Hmm, I'll see what I can do. 

http://www.impulsedriven.com/rebellion says Q4 2011

I pointed out in the announcement thread that all of their releases for Sins have been in mid to late February and that I'd be expecting to see it released Q1 2012, if for no other reason then to keep it within the release tradition, and it appears that many others expect it to come at that time as well, even though official sources state otherwise.

Nope.  No beta yet, not even close.
