We're finally near the end of the Long Journey Home.
Cardboard Computer posted an ominous tweet 40 minutes ago, which led fans to checking the WHEN-KRZ hotline for any changes. The phone line has changed, and now says that the game is "Awaiting Publication", and that more information will be available shortly. An operator will be with us, it says, with an estimated wait time of (as of this post) 3,765 minutes. Every once in a while, the line will return to inform you of how much longer you have left, with various messages thanking you for waiting and commenting on staying for so long.
Mark your calendars for Tuesday!!

Ben just uploaded the OST for Act V on Bandcamp, releases on the 7th. All but confirms a release for tomorrow!
I've already made some changes to the OT to prepare for the release, gonna have to work overtime tonight to finish everything in time!

Can't wait!
Unlike a lot of people, I actually like having new free parts of the story pop up once in a while - I find it fits the vibe of the game quite well. Even though I only started KRZ after Act 2, the release of new parts has served as an backdrop to many changes in my life, and I'll be a little sad to see it end.

I saw this and got immediately hyped. More hyped somehow.
Have all previous acts OST. He's such a great composer.
He, aside from releasing his own album, collaborated on Angel Olsen's latest album as well, which, as expected, is quite good.
Presumably when Act V is released the game will be updated so the interludes happen automatically between acts?

Yes, in the "current" beta build (a year or so old by now)
there's a new act select menu with the interludes inline between the main acts.

January 28th! Guess we still have a bit of waiting left to go after all.
Updates to the official website and a new website for the TV edition as well!

I have never played this game before but it sounds really good - I plan to pick the console version up - would it be better on Switch or PS4? I don't know if it is demanding at all on the hardware given that it originally started back in 2013, so I presume there should be no technical performance issues on any platform (?)
So it comes down to trophies vs portability - I'm leaning towards the Switch version currently for the portability and the fact that I can pre-purchase now on Switch with a 10% discount.

It doesn't seem highly graphical. I got it on the Switch for portability.

Annapurna has the Switch version (without Act V in place, sadly) at PAX South, and so far general impressions have said that it plays very nicely on the Switch. Cardboard Computer confirmed it runs 1080p on Switch docked (720 handheld) and say that the PS4/Xbox versions will do its own upscaling for 4k modes to preserve some stylistic choices they've made.
If you want to get a peek at the new typefaces and system menus in action, Here and There Along the Echo had to be updated with a new build because the old build has a bug that causes it to not launch in years divisible by 101, including 1919, 2020 and 2121. Jake confirmed that all of the interludes will be updated to be consistent with their inline versions in the TV & PC editions and available as individual downloads upon the game's release.
Kentucky Route Zero also got a nice little shoutout in ZA/UM's post today talking about the team's various inspirations in making Disco Elysium. The only other game they listed was, obviously, Planescape Torment, so it's super cool to see them championing KR0 there and being very excited for the release of Act V!

For anyone who was waiting until Tuesday to pick up the game, it is currently 30% off as part of the Steam Lunar New Year sale, which is a pretty nice price to grab it for just days away from the final episode and psuedo 're-release'!
It's been a long time ago since I've counted down the days for release for any game. Can't wait. Wonder what the price will be in PSN.
Damn, this thread started in 2017...
Instantly preordered it on Switch. Have it on PC but in the time since the game's first few episodes came out I stopped playing on PC and I don't mind double dipping.
Waited for the whole thing to come out before playing it, can't wait for tomorrow

Man, I bought KR0 from Humble store (I think it was discounted) on July 24th 2013. Never thought it would take so long for the last episode to get released.
Have loved every episode so far.

Will be picking it up on the Switch even though that Steam price is tempting. Need to cuddle up in bed with this game.
I bought Act 1 of Kentucky Route Zero on Januari 12th 2013 directly from Cardboard Computer. Can't wait to (re)play the entire thing on Friday. I only played the first 2 or 3 episodes previously.
Actually nevermind i figured it out. See below:
"We're so happy to share that Kentucky Route Zero will be updated with the conclusion of the story, Act V on January 28, 2020. This huge update also includes the free 'interludes' we released between episodes, localization (French, Italian, German, Spanish (Lat. Am. & European), Russian, Korean & Japanese), and many other fixes and improvements.
Thanks for being a great audience. Enjoy the new trailer! "
Was going to start digging into this over the weekend but opted to wait for the update since it's going to include the interludes.
I've been waiting a long time to play this and I'm excited to finally get the chance to tomorrow.

Looking forward to this. I played through the first 4 episodes in PC, but it's been a while and I remember little so I'll do a full replay. Waiting for the update and last chapter to drop on Steam (and want to finish A Plague Tale first) so I can play with the interludes integrated etc.
I don't remember when or why but I purchased this back in 2016 and then realised it was incomplete and chose to hold off on the final release. That feels like aeons ago!
Great to see that it is coming to completion, bravo to the team for seeing it through. Excited to dive into it at some point soon.
