If it comes out this year then Consoles will get it next year (hopefully) and you will get it after us lol so be patient

Dont forget that consoles are synchronized when it comes to updates, so railjack would come out on ps4 and switch at the same time

If I had to guess maybe February-March next year. 

Because DE announced it for december for PC, which realistically means January. And we must get it around 2-3 weeks to 1 month later, which means February at the earliest. I wish to be wrong, however.

December/Christmas is for New War, not Empyrean/Railjack

Didn't they say Fall 2019? Holiday (Christmas) is New War

Myscho beat me to it

Oh, right! I confused those two! Ty!

I still believe in the usual "formula", however.

 Release date = 1 month after announced date (PC) and Console release date = 2-3weeks to 1 month after PC. Sadly.

Though in the end I don't really mind. I really rather have a solid product even if I wait longer.

Can someone please awnswer this question when is railjack coming out for the Nintendo switch 

well, to tell you the truth, friend: i don't think ANY of platforms will get Empyrean this year unless they drop it with New War, which they kinda locked themselves into being a Christmas release.  i hope I am wrong, but I think that the ship combat will take longer than finishing a new tile set and story line. Hek, it could come around a month after it drops on PC, like always. Certification is super fast....

I'm just a little worried about how it is going to run.

Soontm.

In so far as we can tell, what we saw at Tennocon was an actual build of all the systems - albeit not all the missions, since there weren't all the planets (mostly Corpus-controlled ones) and many of the nodes were missing mission graphics in the Navigation. But the actual ship combat, exploration and looting itself seems to be more or less feature-complete, which is pretty huge. We don't know how many of the peripheral systems are, of course (the actual modules themselves, the weapons, and as mentioned the missions) but the systems for putting them in and the actual space flight part seems more or less done.

If I had to guess a timeline:

Empyrean at earliest sometime in August, more likely September. Possibly in a two-part release schedule like Fortuna, but that's pure speculation. For NSW, a month or so later, same with the other consoles. I say this both for the aforementioned development reasons, and also because D2's going pseudo-free to play and Borderlands 3 is coming out, both in September, so that month is pretty hefty competition-wise. DE aiming to get something done there or before then helps keep Warframe in the public eye. New War then comes out around Christmas, including Railjack in the quest itself

 

Considering that they were aiming for a pre Tennocon release for the New War, it seems strange to delay it by six months, especially since they're also announcing a tight release window for it - DE never does that, at least not this far in advance. So that makes me think that there's an ulterior element - Railjack, being do far done in the gameplay department, got added to the New War resulting in the delay and they now actually have TNW more or less done - at least, like, 75-90%. But, since cinematic quests are always solo-only, players need to be decently far along Railjack progression, with an active crew, since that will probably be what enables solo play. Also, for bugs reasons - they don't want players to come across major issues in the Railjack during the New War, so by bringing Empyrean out first, they have a chance to test the waters, before throwing us in to a cinematic quest relying on the system. So, DE intentionally holds back the New War, and are able to set an actual release time as a result.

 

But hey, that's just speculation based on existing information. A GAME DEVELOPMENT SPECULATION BASED ON EXISTING INFORMATION!

I've seen people around saying that New War will have Railjack elements... I have never seen or heard any kind of proof for this on a devstream or from a tweet or whatever. Is this a confirmed thing or is it basically something we 'figure' or 'hope' will happen?

IIRC, there was a brief reference to the two being combined being the ideal that they hoped for but weren't actively pushing for at that moment on a devstream - can't remember which one though.

I don't blame you for missing it since it was a pretty brief reference.  There was also a reference, when first showing off the Sentient Tileset that the Lander 'wouldn't be how we got in'.

It's primarily DE's very strange behaviour about the New War and the disconnect between how finished the Railjack itself vs the missions that's sparked this theory.

Yeah I remember that! But for some reason it didn't connect in my head that this meant there was no clicking a node then flying/loading the tileset. Probably because there didn't seem to be a lot of confirmation or real interest in making it happen. And it was awhile go, before the summer sun destroyed my ability to remember things that aren't cool, clear water.

Yeah. I imagine at the time there wasn't considered a very realisable idea. I'm guessing someone just realised one day "Hey, Railjack seems like it's done enough that we could put it into New War with some scheduling changes?" and Steve or someone said "Oh, neat.", and here we are.
