- We have finished Wave 1 and Wave 2 shipments.
- All "New Secret Project" related rewards will ship beginning early fall 2025.
- The "New Secret Project" is referred to by its name, Isles of the Emberdark, in all updates.
Fulfillment of the Words of Radiance campaign and all related tier rewards has begun. With tens of thousands of shipments to get out, fulfillment will take a significant amount of time.
We are unable to provide an estimate on when any specific backer's rewards will ship prior to their shipment notification. When any reward is shipped, you will receive a shipment notification via email with tracking information.
As mentioned in our "Risks" section of our campaign, delays are an unfortunate risk that can affect crowdfunding campaigns, and we are not immune to this. As also promised in that section, "in the case of something occurring that we didn't plan for, we will do our best to be transparent and communicate with you if we anticipate any delays." Updates are posted to the BackerKit campaign Community tab. Our expected timeline changes have been posted there and will be updated again if required.
As a reminder, we will have three fulfillment shipping waves:
Wave 1 – This shipping wave Is complete! This wave included all rewards from campaign reward tiers, except for any rewards related directly to the new secret project. April 2024 "pre-order" store/late backers will receive all rewards in Waves 2 and 3 as appropriate.
Wave 2 – This wave is complete and contained all incomplete or add-on rewards—except for any rewards related directly to the new secret project. This includes all rewards listed as add-ons in your survey.
Wave 3 – This wave is estimated to begin shipping early fall 2025, when the new secret project is completed and released, and will contain all new secret project rewards.
