Chapter 2 release date?

When is The Siege of Spinner Cay going to be release?

I know it's supposed to be about a month after chapter 1 but with august being less than 2 weeks away, I sorta expected a release date by now.

Do you think it will be released before or after Chapter 1's release on Wii?
Wii's release of ch.1 will seem outdated if it comes out after ch.2 is released on PC.
I remember EFMI's release on ps2 seemed really outdated because it was a while after I finished it on PC.

Regardless, I do think this method of releasing the game works a lot better for MI because I would be pretty disappointed if I had no more MI to look forward to in the coming months.
I would have definitely finished all 5 chapters by now otherwise.

    Just give us an estimate. And over guess the number of days. That way, with the official announcement, it will seem like it's coming sooner!

    I think a release date would not be a wise idea yet. I assume they are figuring out technical issues some people had with chapter one, which should in my opinion have highest priority.
    Therefore a release date would just make people angry if it could not be fulfilled.

    That does not mean that it has to be exactly one month between each episode. Telltale could release part 1 on july 1st and part 2 on august 31st and still call it "monthly". Not that I think they would do such a thing.

    Wikipedia has it as August 9th. But it doesn't cite any sources, so that and a dollar will get you a mug of grog.

    I was always excited to drink grog one day. When i read what it really was i was damn disappointed and refused to try it. No battery acid at all!

    yeah, isn't grog just an alcoholic beverage mixed with a non-alcoholic beverage?
    still, it would be fun to try the recipe given by the important looking pirates someday..

    Yes, one version is rum, water and sugar. I felt like WTF when i learned about that while jobbing at a bar. Childhood dreams destroyed. It's like learning

    Well they used to have the exact dates for every episode with Sam & Max, I guess by not giving them it gives them some more breathing room if they release it a few days later.. You would expect it about a month after the last episode though. Anything in that second week of August

    Yeah, unlike what Wikipedia says, it's not coming out on the 9th, where they get those infernal suggestions is beyond me.

    Well, you worked at wrong bar, my friend. Grog is made of: rum, tea (or water), sugar, cinamon, orange juice (optional), carnation (optional, but is gives nice flavor)

    I think it would be more piraty to chuck out the rest of the ingredients and just down the rum. At least it would be keeping with the 'spirit' of things. Terrible pun, I know.

    rum+water=grog
    the rest is optional

    August 9th is a Sunday, so that is not the correct date.

    Well it will be on a Tuesday... so it will be august 4th, 11th, 18th, or 25th

    Does that narrow it down at all? :D

    Where did you get the impression that it will be released on a Tuesday? Telltale doesnt have to release episode 2 on the same day of the week as episode 1.

    ToMI Episode 2 probably won't be released first thing in August. They still have to release the last Wallace & Gromit episode and give it some time.

    Seeing as there's still no sign of the last episode of Wallace and Gromit, and it would be weird for Telltale to delay an episode by an entire month, I think we'll be getting Wallace and Gromit first, then a gap of at least two weeks so they don't clash too much on sales, then the next Monkey Island.

    I'm guessing either August 11th or August 18th.
    August 11th would be nice, as I'm off work then ^_^;;
