DontNod Entertainment announces that
Vampyr is going to need a little
more time in the coffin before it emerges. The blood-sucking action/RPG was
previously due this year, but now word is to expect it in the spring:
Eagerly awaited by many players at the end of this year, upcoming RPG
Vampyr announces the delay of its release date to Spring 2018, on PlayStation 4,
Xbox One and PC. Oskar Guilbert, CEO of DontNod Entertainment, explains:
'Delaying the release of a project you hold dear is always a tough decision.
However, we believe that meeting a deadline should never compromise quality. We
were still convinced just a few weeks ago that we would be able to release
Vampyr this year. Unfortunately, a technical issue - now solved - has set our
teams' schedule back at the end of the development.
This delay allows us enough time for all the polishing and balancing phase, much
needed for a game of Vampyr's scope, with its ambitious, semi-open world, its
complex narrative and deep RPG mechanics that give players a real impact on the
world.
We want to thank our publisher Focus Home Interactive for giving us the means
and time necessary to provide players a memorable experience... especially since
so many of you are eagerly waiting for it.'
Vampyr will be available Spring 2018 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
