There were so many fake release dates out there, one of them was bound to be the right one for episode 2. The first episode was announced long in advance, so no guesswork for whoever. And every false source had its own false release schedule.
I'll say this one more time.
Telltale does not have a fixed release schedule with fixed dates, so everything, everything, everything that was posted three months ago about the release dates was the purest guesswork.
Guesswork by OTHER sites and private persons, including wikia or wikipedia editors. Which had NO official information at all.
In this case, a particularly stupid guesser who puts release dates on Saturdays or into Telltale's X-mas holidays.
Keep release date discussions in the release date thread. Thank you.
