One year after trialling Photo and Designer and deciding I wasn't quite ready to migrate from Photoshop and Illustrator I finally have time to make an effort to migrate to the Serif products.  The possibility of a looming 2.0 release is now stopping me though.  Gotta wonder how many others are hesitating over those Buy buttons.

No, version 2 of the Affinity suite will be a one off purchase (perpetual license) and will not be sold as a subscription service (monthly or otherwise)

Bad news: Not this month, sorry. Good news: The longer it takes the more new features, improvements, and fixes will be included. Exciting times ahead.

Version 2 of Affinity Designer will load Affinity version 2 files as well as load Affinity version one files. 😜 Sorry I couldn't resist

That is probably one of the main reasons, why there is not more information about the update. I guess the release date is around black Friday. The Affinity people are very customer focused, so undoubtly they have spent countless hours to discuss how to approach customers who bought 1.x close to the release date of 2.0. If there is another reason to wait, possibly a last minute bug, so then it is very good to wait.

It hasn't even entered beta yet.

May be Serif only did a "Private" Beta Test this time as they did with their Plus Range. 🙂

You would never want to release a major update without large scale public beta.

But that would ruin the surprise.

I guess I'll check-in every couple of weeks to see if there's any news.  I'm not buying V1 now if V2 is imminent and I have to buy it all over again to stay current.

Thanks for the replies. 🙂

It may well be that if you purchase Affinity 1.XXX after a certain date, you get Affinity 2.0 free. I should imagine Affinity 2.0 will be generously discounted for users of 1.XXX anyway. And there may well be an introductory 2.0 price to boot.

Are you hesitating because of money?

Are you on Adobe subscription for two apps or more?

 

There are trial versions from Affinity.

I'm exactly the same. Holding out for 2.0

I am surprised about the kind of speculation here. First someone expected 26 October, now I read another person expect 25 November (Black Friday). Maybe some people should invest in a crystal ball.

I used my crystal ball which tells me the release of v2.0 will be on 31 November! I am very sure about this date because my crystal ball is never wrong.

The reality is that we all have to wait until v2.0 is released.

Tease!

Looking forward to seeing what this is. I say that  just as I had to dust off an old copy of Illustrator to do something that was way too hard in Designer. I shed a tear at the necessity of this.

is = IS = 15?th of November/December... Just thinking why you wrote this one in italic. At least a beta or a sneak peak would be highly appreciated to see the direction Affinity is taken ;-) so I´m still waiting and wishing...

I am sure that your "Crystal Ball" also mentioned that you will also get an special upgrade offer of 99% Discount on 31st Nov. 😁

My crystal ball said the discount would be 105%; & that the new license would also be good for upcoming versions for smart phones, PlayStations, Game Boys, & several other currently unsupported devices. 😉
