“I’ve come to realise that restricting the window to a specific month could hinder us from delivering a fully featured game and/or lead to disappointment within the community if the launch deadline is not met.”
What pushed Greene to say this now was a current interview revealed by Rock Paper Shotgun. The interview itself was carried out in April, when Greene had genuinely believed the launch date to be round October.
Now, the studio is concentrating on a This fall 2017 launch, which might be about two to a few months later than initially deliberate. “So, we have decided that we are going push the full launch back a bit from the initial six-month time frame, but want to assure you that we are still planning a full release before the end of Q4 2017,” added Greene.
Still, he wasn’t in a position to decide to a date but for a similar causes that received him to challenge the assertion. He additionally didn’t contact on the progress of the Xbox One model, so we are able to assume that it’s nonetheless on observe for a Game Preview launch later this 12 months.
