There hasn't been much news lately on the status of Demigod, the upcoming RTS title from developer Gas Powered Games and publisher Stardock. However a recent post on the game's official message board gives a tenative schedule on Demigod's beta release schedule.

As with other Stardock games, Demigod will have several beta stages beginning Aug 1 that's mainly for a stress test of the game's engine. Beta 2 in October will actually be a series of releases where the dev team will implement player suggestions as well as bug fixes. Beta 3 will begin in December and may be more of an open beta test. In January release candidates will be tested followed by the February 2009 release of the final gold version. Beta testers "will be getting something special" for their efforts but no details were announced.
