We have made great strides in these last few months, but in order to ensure that we are releasing the game that we've promised our fans, we are looking towards the second quarter of 2010 for the launch of Earthrise. When we began working on Earthrise we set out to make a unique and extraordinary game; we don't want to deliver anything less than that to our dedicated community.
