I am hearing some rumors being reported today after seeing a spike in chatter within the gaming community on today. I have not seen the third-party game tracking tools show this much rumor in a long time. I will say the tracking tools are way more heated than the chatter I am seeing, so something might be off here. Again, I saw some initial chatter from within the gaming forums and on this site starting on today.  Now, I decided to cover it on everyday even if the chatter was not at the levels that would warrant me posting something.
To be clear, Wendgames' radar has not confirmed any release is officially going on.

Holy shit this is the biggest gaming news of the year

I surprisingly knew about this game's existence before this!

From someone who actually played it, it's fine, just a pretty average  game. Unless you're chomping at the bit for new experiences, if it looks interesting to you just play the first one.

Game description:
In the most distant reaches of the world, magic still exists, embodied by spirits of the land, of the sky, and of every natural thing. As the great powers of Europe stretch their colonial empires further and further, they will inevitably lay claim to a place where spirits still hold power – and when they do, the land itself will fight back alongside the islanders who live there.

Spirit Island is a cooperative settler-destruction strategy game designed by R. Eric Reuss and set in an alternate-history world around A.D. 1700. Players become different Spirits of the land, each with their own unique elemental powers, forced to defend their island home from colonizing Invaders spreading blight and destruction. Your Spirits work with the native Dahan to increase your power and drive the invading colonists from your island in this strategic area-control game.

Spirit Island includes:
• Free access to unlimited plays of the tutorial game
• Create custom games with up to 4 available spirits and play 5 full turns
• 36 Minor Power cards that enhance the abilities of your Spirits
• 22 Major Power cards with more powerful effects to devastate the Invaders
• A modular island, made up of 4 balanced island boards, for a variety of layouts
• Thematic island boards that reflect the canonical island and provide a new challenge
• 15 Invader cards driving a distinctive Invader expansion system
• 2 Blight cards with challenging effects as the Invaders blight the Island
• 15 Fear cards with beneficial effects, earned as you terrify the Invaders

Every rule & interaction in the game has been carefully adapted and thoroughly tested by expert Spirit Island players, as well as the designer himself. If you’re wondering how a certain situation works in Spirit Island, this game is the ultimate rules lawyer!

Features:
• Original dynamic music composed by Jean-Marc Giffin brings Spirit Island to life. Each Spirit has unique musical elements that wax and wane as the game progresses.
• 3D Textured maps bring a realistic look and isometric perspective to the Island.
• 3D Classic maps present the Island the way it looks on the tabletop.
• 2D Classic maps provide a simplified top-down option for all you number crunchers out there.

10. Are you a competitive online mobile gamer? The secret to becoming a top mobile gamer is to first have at least a medium-range phone or a top-of-the-line phone. Without a good device, you will never be a good gamer. Next, you need a superfast internet connection. If you want to do exploits against other gamers online in real time, you need incredible internet connectivity, or else lag will become your best friend when your ping goes up to over 300 ms. And finally, you need to be me, Wendgames, the greatest mobile gamer the world has ever seen. If anyone else tells you anything else, they're lying. Skills only come through persistence with great devices and fast connectivity to react appropriately against enemy players.
