Early Access to
Nightingale is now expected in the first half of 2023.
This represents a delay from the 2022 release window
originally announced for Inflexion's
upcoming survival game.
Wccftech notes that its
interview about the
game earlier this year revealed a desire to possibly switch development to
Unreal Engine 5. Now a
new
tweet explains the delay is in part to do just that:
We've made the
difficult decision to delay Nightingale's Early Access release to the first half
of 2023. We'll have more news on specific timing at a later stage.
The move is based on two considerations: The first is an upgrade to
Unreal Engine 5. After reviewing the potential UE5 has to offer, we decided on
upgrading now rather than waiting until after release.
Secondly, Inflection Games is committed to delivering the best possible
experience and fulfilling the promise of what Nightingale's universe of realms
has to offer players. To achieve that the additional time will allow the team to
make key improvements, bolster content and polish gameplay.
In the coming weeks you'll see more game and development updates from the team.
Until then, we thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm for what
we're making. It may take a little longer for the mystical Fae portals to open,
but we appreciate you taking this journey with us.
