Release Date for Episode 3 of TFS might've just been leaked.
This image was posted on Reddit showing that the game is now available for Pre-Order. It also says that the game will be available on November 9th. Could this be the new release date for Episode 3? If so, that's only 3 days after its initial release. What do you guys think?

i didn't even know they started working on it again. if it's true then great. probs gonna have a longer delay for ep4 tho.
no doubt about that. episode 3 was reportedly 90% done so I didn't expect a long delay, but episode 4 will probably release in 2019
09/11 obv means first day then month, but still xdddd
Episode 3 just needed debugging hopefully not to much of a delay in episode 3 if rumours are true but episode 4 but be a long one 1 or 2 quarter 2019 will be my guess
Episode 3 just needs polish, so I'd imagine the delay wouldn't be too far off from the original release.
My guess is that's the physical copy release date.
I too have heard that Episode 3 just needs debugging.
Not a confirmation though.
Isn't that from last month? If EP3 does release this year, I'd assume it'd be late November assuming the original dev team returns.
Broken Toys has only been moved forward 3 days?? But there was a 3 WEEK pause! And we don't even know if all devs have been hired yet.
From what I understand EP3 was in either the mid or late phase of development and only need finalizing, testing and debugging.
It also seems that atleast a few devs have been brought in by Skybound throughout the week.
I read it as 9/11/18, as in September 11th, not November 9th, and I was confused as fuck
I'm sure it still needs a lot of polishing and work, as I know with Telltale games, minor things can be changed from up to 2 weeks before release. Anyway, we already know that, but my point before was that Telltale Games themeselves have made this release date: November 6. It aligns perfectly with all their plans for Episode 4. All the developing is done on a strict timetable. There are set days where things happen. With Skybound now leading the production as well as scheduling the development, this means that they are likely changing things up in a 'messy' way so that Episode 4 will come out a lot later.
TLDR: The 3 week pause in development that was barely accounted for in Episode 3's new release date, will come into fruition for Episode 4. Meaning Episode 4 could be delayed from 3 weeks to 3 months.
I would actually be worried about the quality of episode 3 if this release date is true. I'd rather it to be a 4 weeks delay.
I'm sure it'll release between Nov and Dec, but hopefully not too close to the launch of Smash Ultimate if it has a further delay than we're aware of.
I know Episode 3 was late in it's development and nearly ready, but I'm not willing to put money on this date, seems like a sort of placeholder or something. I don't see Episode 3 being until late November, at worst early December, and then Episode 4 in January 2019. At least on the bright side, I know my Christmas won't be ruined by my post-Take Us Back depression.
That reddit post says 9/11/2018. The day this post was made is 10/13/2018. What does it have to do with episode 3?
This makes no sense.
Unless that 9/11 actually means 9th of November, then okay it makes sense.
haha this made me laugh. lemme explain - Game is a UK-based company, and in the UK, it's Day then Month.
...
Yeah what he/she said.
Yeah, I've realized the pound sign, so the date is written as Date first then Month, not the US, where it's Month then date. xD
