We have not yet announced an official release date. I'll admit we've gone very dark from a content and information standpoint, which we will attempt to improve upon going forward, but we want Siege of Dragonspear to be good, so all our effort has been applied in that vein.

The truth is that we are impatient because we've had so much fun with the other baldur's gate games and we expect the same to happen with the upcoming game.
Beamdog sucks worse than Blizzard in giving out information and that is saying alot. But honestly... If they deliver a great game then the lack of information will be forgotten the second the game is released.
I'm like the rest of the impatient lot in here. I'm desperate for more information. But when I take a breather and count to 10, I always realize that the wait wont matter in the end.
I think it's important to remember that Beamdog doesn't have exclusive control on the sharing of information and content. I forget where exactly this was said, but one of the staff members (Amber?) detailed how Beamdog had to go through WotC before releasing anything. I'm not saying this necessarily excuses the lack of new info, but it probably isn't entirely on Beamdog.
While my criticisms of beamdog remain, I'll give @TrentOster credit for admitting that there is a problem and for giving permission to release some quotes from the game.
Admitting you made a mistake and/ or could have done something better isn't easy. So, well done and credit where credit is due.
Now gief Clara, hire Chris Avellone *and* David Gaider and I'll stop complaining.
I'd like to see a release date myself, but I can respect the "run silent, run deep" approach to PR. I'm just happy there is basically a new Infinity Engine game coming out. At some point.
Ok, since apparently no one else talked about it yet I am gonna leave this here. @PhillipDaigle dropped some cryptic Informations about SoD over at his Twitter.

Give us something!
Does a stream of Amber and Phil playing the game for an hour count as something?

1) Will it be spoilerific? 2) Will Amber be wearing that ridiculous hat? 3) Will Phil be holding that turkey leg during the video? 4) Will there be a chat window with people typing stuff like "Aliens confirmed!"?
More info, MORE... TELL ME MORE! I NEED TO KNOW EVERYTHING! MWAHH HAHAHA!
Why? It certainly, positively needs any additional lich you can provide and more. If you're a lich and want to be included into an IE game, please, email the developers and they'll look into what can be done.
Shhh! Don't tell Anduin - this lich's power is immense, he cannot be caged or controlled.

You don't control or cage liches. You send summoned creatures towards them so that they stupidly waste all their best offensive powers on the summoned creatures. After that you take them down easily.

...guess I'll have to keep waiting. They'll say something eventually, right?

(that was too tempting)
Taking my time at work and still waiting...
A few questions:
A. Was it painful?
2. Are your co-workers collecting disruption weapons?
C. Does your morning coffee taste the same?
You know, one thing IE games don't need is another lich ...
Shhh! Don't tell Anduin - this lich's power is immense, he cannot be caged or controlled.
