It would seem that Palladium Books has succeeded in their ill-omened quest to re-acquire the RPG rights to the Robotech universe. Millions of geeks weep bitter tears as the faint hope that there would finally be a _decent_ version of the game was ground under Kevin Siembieda's cloven foot.
I suppose the deal could still fall through. While a (wildly implausible) release date was announced, they didn't actually claim to have signed a contract yet. While no professional company would make such an announcement pre-maturely, this is Palladium we're talking about here...
On the bright side, at least there's a tentative release date for the
Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles movie. Come November 21, we can glory and marvel at the first new Robotech in 20 years, and hopefully a whole new series will follow!
Update: the Funimation website still says "Early 2007" for the release. Perhaps the November date was false RumInt.
