Sehr überraschend kam heute die Pressmitteilung von Bandai Namco bezüglich der Verschiebung von Code Vein. Nachdem in den letzten Monaten unzählige Gameplay, Story und andere Trailer veröffentlicht wurden und das Spiel relativ fertig aussah, kam nun die Aussage, dass die für den 28.9.2018 geplante Veröffentlichung verschoben wird.
Wie es in der Mitteilung heisst, waren die Reaktionen der Presse und Fans durchweg positiv. Trotzdem möchten sich die Entwickler mehr Zeit für den Feinschliff nehmen. In der zusätzlichen Zeit soll das gesammelte Feedback, zum Beispiel von Fans die das Spiel auf Messen wie der E3 probespielen konnten, umgesetzt werden. Dadurch wird das fertige Produkt hoffentlich noch einmal deutlich besser und die Erwartungen der Fans übertreffen.
Ein weiterer Grund könnte auch die Masse an Spielen sein, die für den Rest des Jahres noch anstehen und teilweise sehr zeitnah veröffentlicht werden sollen. So könnte Code Vein die Gefahr in der Masse unterzugehen vermeiden.
Im Anschluss findet ihr die offizielle Pressmitteilung von Bandai Namco zum Thema Code Vein Terminverschiebung:
