Good news for all who were annoyed by how bad Raven's Cry was. The revamp Vendetta: Curse of Raven's Cry will arrive on the 20th of November.
It will be free for those who own Raven's Cry, but as we reported before it will be a manual process. I asked if this process will be ready for the release, and the reply was this:
QuoteHi Liam,
we will setup a website where customers can request a free upgrade.
Best regards,
Dirk P. Hassinger
A further reply was also given to me:
QuoteHi Liam,
yes it will be a manual process. A costumer needs his recipt, billing number etc. to proof that he bought Raven’s Cry.
There will be an option on Vendetta-game.com to claim the upgrade.

I have now asked why they are forcing people to go through hoops, when we know plenty of other games that have done it on Steam without any user interaction, and they have yet to reply.
I also asked about AMD GPU status:
QuoteHi Liam,
we are in touch with AMD, but I do not know the status.
Best regards,

TopWare Interactive has published a release date for Vendetta: Curse of Raven's Cry
+++ Vendetta: Curse of Raven's Cry to arrive on the 20th of November +++
Karlsruhe, November 2nd, 2015 – Pirates! Whispered rumours spread faster in the Caribbean than scurvy on the seven seas. Today we received an urgent warning, and its contents have been confirmed; anti-hero Christopher Raven and his deadly crew have been sighted spreading fear and violence across the open world of the Caribbean in the upcoming action-adventure RPG, Vendetta: Curse of Raven's Cry!
Vendetta: Curse of Raven's Cry takes players on an epic adventure featuring the dread pirate Captain Christopher Raven as he scours the Caribbean on a quest for revenge. Cut, sail, slash and shoot your way across the Antilles, from pirate hideouts to unexplored savage islands and sprawling plantations. Make choices ranging from the moral to the monstrous, while you walk the razor’s edge between gaining your revenge and becoming the very thing you’re hunting.
With over 50 hours of playing time, 120 minutes of cinematic video recordings and new quests and voice-over work, Christopher Raven’s ship is loaded for war like never before. Don’t worry, Christopher Raven will leave no brother of the coast behind! Those who took to the seas with Christopher in Raven’s Cry will receive a free upgrade to Vendetta: Curse of Raven's Cry from the Captain himself.
New features:
- Scores of new characters and more than 200 side-quests enrich the gaming experience, while existing quests have been extended and enhanced.
- Locations have been polished and enhanced with improved optics; from flora & fauna to the new (dangerous) wildlife lurking on the shores and in the jungles of the Caribbean.
- Numerous items have been added, including new equipment that affects game-play, like hats, amulets and a variety of new weapons.
- The combat system has been enhanced, from Christopher Raven’s fighting techniques to his opponent’s behavior, both in and out of combat.
- A new reward system has been integrated into the game-play and combat.
- Sea adventures have been optimized with new upgrades and a new free-sailing mode has been added.
- An advanced and optimized trade and economic system with numerous new distributors and negotiable items have been implemented.
- Shaman skills allow the brewing of powerful potions and tinctures.
- Ship personalization and customization has been overhauled, thanks to new figureheads, different colored sails, and new hull colors.
- New videos and cut-scenes have been added using facial motion capture technology.
- A more streamlined and accessible quest log and help system has been added, including notifiers for quest difficulty and an overhauled quest interface.
- New game achievements document the progress of your achievements and accomplishments.
- Completely new English voice recordings and lip-syncing.
The digital release of Vendetta: Curse of Raven's Cry will be available on the 20th of November, 2015 for PC, Mac, Linux and SteamOS in both Standard and Digital Deluxe Editions. A retail and console version is scheduled for release in Q1 2016. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: liamdaweThey've confirmed on the Steam forums that it's because some people have the game via stolen test key's.Quoting: wolfyrionI think for Steam users that have already purchased Ravens Cry,Vendetta will appear on their Steam Library at release date.
No need to do anything , though a confirmation would be nice..
This is why I've asked them why they are making people go through hoops, which I am waiting for a reply on for clarification.
Still can't see why they need additional methods to verify people have a legit copy though, they should be able to see this through Steam.

They've worked some additional months on their games (which, granted, was obviously needed).
I think it's not a big deal to fill a form to get such a big upgrade.
