Mooneye Studios has delayed Lost Ember from its previously announced July 19 release date by at least “a couple of extra weeks.” A new release date is unclear.
“You may have encountered undercooked and buggy games in the past and we’re pretty sure you’d prefer to have Lost Ember in a state that will not crush your enjoyment of the experience,” Mooneye Studios said in a blog post. “That’s why we’ll have to take a little extra time to fix a couple of issues that would definitely hurt your fun with it. Lost Ember is especially dependent on a smooth flow all the way through as it’s so atmosphere heavy, so we need to ensure that flow the best we can.”
The blog post continues, “How did you not know this earlier, you ask? Well, one thing is, I guess, we’re possibly too optimistic, but mostly, we didn’t have much quality assurance until late in development and weren’t quite prepared for the list of issues that is still growing actually :/ So until we know exactly how long that list is planning to grow, we cannot give you a new date. I can only say we think it’s going to be a couple of extra weeks on top of the release date. We promise to do what we can do to bring you your game as soon as humanly possible.”
Lost Ember will be released for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC. Read more about the game here.
