Technically they could launch season 3 with finished shadows, Shadow Jago, and one new character to start things off.

Certainly possible but I kind of feel like when they do season 3 they'll want to launch it with more than 2 characters this time around. They did a fantastic job with one character a month but from what I've seen them say it seems like it took a lot out of them.

I think being given the time to launch with 4-6 characters and not worry about such strict time constraints on almost every character will be a lot better for them.

I think they're getting ample time for Season 3. No rush. Let Iron Galaxy mature into Season 3. I predict maybe an announcement of the PC release and true end of Season 2 with Shadows, etc. I don't think we're getting Season 3 until mid next year. I'd bet $1000 that if you snuck into IG and got your hands on to something you're not supposed to they have at least a few Season 3 players at least at the wire mesh stage.

Yeah, that seems reasonable to me. Launch season 3 when XO/PC are in sync and season 2 is totally complete.

I'm believing in S3 at gamescoms.

I feel like while there may be busy with other stuff, they still want to announce it at Gamescoms since the only other reveal options are PAXs and by itself.

The official KI forums will be down for maintenance tonight, they don't do that very often. Calm before the storm?

I'm back in hype mode.

I highly doubt they'll go for a whole year without new characters. I think we'll see at least 4 new characters released and polished by the time EVO rolls around again next July.

I imagine they'll close out Season 2 this year (Shago, Shadows, PC port) and Season 3 begins early next year (January or February) with simultaneous release on PC and Xbox One.

My guess.

PC release before the end of the year with Season 2 completed at the same time or around the same time.

Season 3 2Q 2016

MS buys IG in 2016.

Awwwwww shiiiiet, getting a little hype now! XD

If S3 is announced, I really hope it's a trailer but a confirmation is good enough for me. Still if there's a trailer, I hope to see at least Kim or Tusk appearances/new Shago in action and as much I want to see character silhouettes like S2's Launch trailer, I don't think they'll do it just yet. 1 more day.......

Should focus on PC port optimization and Shago, as well as DX12 optimizations for XB1 versión so we can finally see 1080p render resolution from the game if DX12 gives us enough power, S3 would be good but there will be a ton of characters to deal for new people jumping to the PC version of the game

Aria is a robot and riptor is a dinosaur lol, I really don't count them at all lol. I just want kim Wu and at least 3 more females.
Click to expand...

I think it's important to count Aria and Riptor, because there are a lot of series that simply don't have female characters as anything other than humans in skimpy clothing. There's a similar issue where a lot of series (not just in gaming, mind you) will have a mostly or even all-white cast, and then all the people of color happen to play monsters, robots, etc. I'm glad that KI's taking great lengths to avert it - we have "inhuman" male characters in Spinal, Fulgore, Sabrewulf, etc. so it's nice that the diversity extends to the cast of monsters, too. Granted, if the only women in KI were Aria and Riptor it'd be a little eyebrow-raising, but I think they've hit a nice balance here. Even in terms of how much skin they show, practically all the human male characters are running around bare-chested with washboard abs, lol.

They seem to lead off each new season with a returning character, so I think chances are good -- if S3 is announced -- Tusk or Kim Wu will be up first. I can't wait.

So Season 3 is March 2016... shit why so long? Because of the KI PC port?

I'm actually glad it's gonna take a long time, gives me hope they are completely revamping the UI/HUD, going 1080p, and no doubt launching with more than 2 characters.
