After some discussions with our publishers and distributors, we are changing the name of the upcoming release of Ship Simulator to 2008 (instead of 2007).
This is because in some countries the game will come out in September, which is too late to use the 2007 year in the name.
The target is to come out with the German and english versions in July, and all other languages and countries in September.
Some of the earlier announced functionality like Multiplayer will be released in the September version, and made available as a patch for the people that bought the game before then. The September release and patch will also have some ships that are not part of the initial releases.
