It is certainly more powerful than my Directx 9 Geforce 9600 though. I really can't start the game and have only played it on friend's PCs. They announced the Xbox version as a possible "play anywhere" title with a Windows 10 store version coming too, maybe that's the delay as the anniversary update was required and all.

I think hey were waiting for Scorpio, but Microsoft isn't allowing games to be targeted specifically for the more beefy hardware - at least not yet.
The original one might not be burly enough for the game after all.
Either that or they prioritized DLC for the current platforms, perhaps in response to lukewarm response since the announcement.

Or they are just silently toiling away on the content until release time comes.

If they can e.g. get mod support but must wait on a few updates from Microsoft first, it's possible they are holding on for some platform features as well.

At any rate, I am interested in first-party updates on this front as well.

I hope Paradox pushes Microsoft to allow for Scorpio exclusive development. I understand why Microsoft doesn't want to allow Scorpio exclusive games because they don't want to split the user base. However, it doesn't make much sense to me to release vastly superior hardware and not allow developers to fully take advantage of it.

That's wishful thinking. MS will not allow Scorpio to be the baseline for a game at launch time.
I see they working on a product plan where they release a new console every 2-4 years, and at any time, the two latest consoles must be supported.
At Scorpio^2 they might waive the requirement to make games compatible with Scorpio^1.

This project is the Best Joke of 2015. The announcement was over a year ago and there haven't been any single bit of information about this. You haven't even told us who is developing the game. How much money Microsoft gave you for doing this? :D

On a side note, I think it's weird that Colossal Order had to hire a Community Manager because Paradox doesn't comment here as often as it used to (2014-2015). Somebody only drops a message when there is a announcement to be made (excluding Azurespecter, he's doing a nice job). A bit more activity would be nice :)

It's still on the tables but there was a slight bump in the road and I'm afraid we've not had much information to share on this. Rest assured that when we have something to share we will :).

GOSHDARN THose pesky NDAs!

(goshdarn = sanitized swearing to pass language filter, bah humbug)

My pet theory is that Microsoft is working on ways to make XO games moddable, which could give them an extra bullet point for desirability but the plumbing to allow for that is still in the works/was delayed in their roadmap to focus on other more mainstream features - such as gameplay streaming - for Scorpio.

Either that or there is something up on Unity which is still not peachy to compile for XO, and CO is waiting for a platform update to fix the issue(s).

Same my Xbox one S is waiting too. Do you guys really think they're waiting to develop for Scorpio? I really think the game on low to medium settings could still run fine on the original xbox one.

Starting to look like it. I was hoping for support with Natural Disasters as it was taking so long to release, but I see nothing for Xbox nor controller support. Looks like a bust. I don't see it taking well over a year to port as xbone already has windows 10 support and only thing needed is controller support.

Maybe Cities: Skylines 2?

Still don`t understand why people would want to play this on console... I guess console players never experience something like this, so that might sell copies, but playing this on controller.... How awful.
