Uber's Planetary Annihilation has outlined its roll-out plans for the year: an Alpha from June through August, Beta from September through November, and a full launch in December.

Uber Entertainment's Kickstarter real-time strategy game is preparing for a test launch. The studio has announced that Planetary Annihilation will begin its Alpha roll-out for crowdfunding backers around June 7.

The update also outlines its overall launch plans. After the "Early Access Alpha" starts, it will run through the end of August. That will give those users a nice long hunk of time. A Beta will begin in September and run through November. Then the full game is planned to launch in December.

The team says it is "very happy with the speed we’re moving at," and this time window makes good on its earlier promise to start rolling out backer rewards by July.

        i sort of agree but am glad i won't be tempted with this game as a summer distraction - and have to deal with bugs/tweaking until the beta which i hope would be more stable (game servers crashing on their livestreams for example)

        Yeah the store page just says "We will be rolling out an upgrade system for early backers like you who have made pledges. We'll let you know when it's available."

        You can! (I think) Click this link (https://uberent.com/User/Login?titleId=4&redirectUrl=http://store.uberent.com/Store/Upgrade?titleId=4) and sign in. You should have an option to upgrade. Hopefully.

          I've heard talk that the kickstarter backers might get access earlier than the 7th steam earlyaccess thing. How likely is that to actually happen? I assume it depends on how early you guys can get it "ready" but is there still a chance?

            I'm not certain. We're burning the midnight oil to get ready in time and I don't want to make any promises I can't keep. :(

              Fair enough, I had a feeling that might be the case. I'll hold off my anticipation for another week so I don't do myself an injury.

      Amazon Payments was being a dick for a while and I couldn't do any Kickstarters and this expired before it was resolved.
