Med bara några veckor kvar till planerad release meddelar Nine Dots Studio, via Steam, att deras kommande Ouward 2 försenas till 2027.
"I apologize that we couldn't give you the game you guys deserve on time," skriver spelets regissör Guillaume Boucher-Vidal. Spelet som släpptes som en beta den 7:e juni behöver helt enkelt mer tid under utveckling. Boucher-Vidal medger att det hela känns konstigt eftersom de ganska nyligen släppte en trailer där de avslöjade att spelarna skulle få äventyret nu under sommaren.
"I know that this might seem sudden as not that long ago we released a trailer inviting people to explore Aurai during summer, but the truth is that if we just stick to the plan stubbornly, we're delivering a product that might not satisfy your expectations. The last thing we want to do is disappoint fans of Outward and there has been a lot of comments stating that they wish for the game to spend more time in development before the launch. The point of a Beta is to listen to feedback, and so we will."
Spelarna har gett feedback att de önskade att spelet tillbringade mer tid under utveckling. Vidal fortsatte; "The last thing we want to do is disappoint fans of Outward and there has been a lot of comments stating that they wish for the game to spend more time in development before the launch. The point of a beta is to listen to feedback, and so we will."
Med andra ord verkar studion medvetna om spelets nuvarande och inte helt färdiga skick och releasen blir alltså uppskjuten till någon gång under 2027.
