Heatwave Interactive recently announced that Gods & Heroes: Rome Rising will launch in North America on June 21. In response, Executive Producer Anthony Castoro has published a lengthy State of the Republic address to outline which features will actually make it into the game at launch.

Castoro starts his letter by stating that the Gods & Heroes team is still growing, since they realize launch is only the beginning. He says that they've decided to abandon their target of a full "M" rating, but they'll "continue to go edgier on the combat and storyline." He also confirms that the crafting system may not make it in at launch, but it will eventually be added to the game.
