Sorry it took me a while to respond to this -- I was overseas.

We don't have a specific date yet, due to some "text flux" -- there's been a solid amount of internal debate over where to settle the rules.  That said, the hat gnomes have been working hard on this question while I've been abroad, and I hear we're at about 98% on cementing the rules stuff.  Once that's done, we can race for the finish.

Any new news on this game?  I am greatly looking forward to it.

At the moment, the status is "we think we've worked out the kinks in the system revision, and then, our day jobs ate us utterly."  Even so we've had some solid opportunities to playtest things, and the core is working pretty well.

In the end, we're definitely falling victim to the not-our-full-time-job situation.  We're still committed to getting it out there, but as always, once we state dates, we're pretty much doomed to miss them.  I thought we could get around it this time, with stating seasons instead of dates, but even that vague commitment was enough for destiny to goose us.

This is understandable.  I think most gamers are of the opinion that they will wait for quality, and I can't imagine a FATE pulp game wouldn't deliver on that.  If you would like some more playtesters for Spirit (or any of your games) my group would be glad to help.  We have really been enjoying FATE, as I discuss in another thread.

PM me if need be.
