In case you all missed the announcement by Funcom

They are 'rebranding' the game. I'm sure you all saw the earlier announcement about it. Here is the new site.

Just saw the other thread in the 'gaming' section. Kind of figured that someone would have posted already. 😉

So this is in the FAQ:

But it also says it will only use steam to start. Doesn't that mean it's actual release is late July. Also, just out of curiosity, will any beta progress carry to the new game or is everyone REALLY restarting on release?

Closed beta progress will not be transferred over, if they do live beta then that will probably count. The funcom client will be the only way to play for a month, think the "only steam to start" plan got thrown out.
