[Lucien]

Why is this thread not pinned?

People ignore stickied threads

[SwedishGoose]

The powers that be need to give out more information lest this thread be left in oblivion...

[Enigmachine]

Updated with all the new info

[Mladen]

The track list is complete, huh? It looks very, very interesting. 

[Enigmachine]

I've added the Jan 29th release date taken from the German Amazon page, although I know that it may be inaccurate due to no official announcement.

[Prog Snob]

We now have Gabriel.

[Enigmachine]

We now have Gabriel.

I've added him, thanks for reminding me.

[Prog Snob]

I've added him, thanks for reminding me.

You're quite welcome. 

[Podaar]

We also know that the characters in the story are at least 37.5% white males.

[Enigmachine]

Updated with new map locations.

Hey mods, I think this is the place to post this. Someone has had some fun with the album Wiki page (wrong track names and Characters section).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Astonishing

Can someone with an account please correct it.

'Emperor Nafaryus (gandalf)'

Who comes up with this stuff?
Also, it must've been a rushed edit to change 'Chosen' to 'The Chosen  One' given that there is an unneccesary space.

The German Amazon link is dead now, and "Release date" on Wikipedia reverted back to just 2016, so it's not worth having that on this page anymore.

I've removed the link, but will leave the date until further updates.

[Enigmachine]
