There is currently no exact release date for retailers, some online shops indicate October 2020 as the release period for the German version of Forgotten Waters for its localization Asmodee Germany is responsible.

Forgotten Waters could well be called Hybrid game although, according to Plaid Hat Games, the concept would also work without using the app. The disadvantages, however, would be noticeably higher production costs and the lack of atmospheric accessories, such as the presentation of the background story through audio recordings. In addition, the authors have the opportunity to subsequently implement new content, such as adventure scenarios.
According to Plaid Hat Games, fans don't have to be afraid that the app will be discontinued and Forgotten Waters will become "unplayable". They plan to support the game in the long term and would at least make the program code of the app publicly available if support were to be discontinued.
With the postponement as a commodity from Forgotten Waters due to the Corona crisis, players now have to wait a little longer before they can set sail. When exactly the pirate adventure game will appear is uncertain. Plaid Hat Games has not yet given any precise details. The board game can be purchased directly from the publisher's online shop.
Plaid Hat Games is aware of the tense situation in the area of local game shops, as well as the fact that some players are now purchasing Forgotten Waters directly from the publisher and not from retailers. The makers offer fans an alternative: buyers can send the publisher the address of the game shop and then support the retailer with a check for twelve US dollars.
Asmodee Germany will launch the German version of Forgotten Waters, probably in autumn 2020. There is therefore enough time for localization, despite the ongoing corona pandemic. The pirate board game will cost around 54 euros.
