Late pledge opens on GamefoundPledge manager and late-pledge phase moves to Gamefound. Manufacturing and freight planning begin; backer surveys close out.
Current status
Coming soon to retailGlass Cannon Unplugged's product page lists Dying Light: The Board Game as 'Coming soon to retail stores.' Backer fulfillment and a wider retail release are the next milestones. No fixed in-store date has been confirmed publicly at the time of writing.
Why no fixed date yet?
Crowdfunded board games typically slip 6–18 months past their original estimated ship date. Manufacturing in Asia, freight scheduling, customs hubs in the EU/US, and backer-survey closures all affect the final date. Glass Cannon Unplugged has been publicly transparent in their Kickstarter and Gamefound update feeds — those are the authoritative sources for any new ship-window confirmation.
