They probably decided to stop crunching after the blue hairs on twitter went after them. Can't blame them to be honest.

Hope everyone is happy now.

 

[TheGecko]

 

[BigbyTheSheriff]

Ok...Midnight Suns it is then.

 

[Arachnid]

Damn. I was hoping to use those two months to platinum it, and then use two months to platinum Dead Space at the end of Jan before RE4.

Hopefully, this isn't a real rumor. If it is though, no sweat. Take your time and put it out right.

 

[Nankatsu]

That crunch paid off, I see.

Those freaks ruin everything.

Same, I wanted to finish it before Dead Space. Let's hope it's just a Twitter rumour.

 

[SlimySnake]

So all that crunch for months and delayed anyway.

This is why crunch doesnt work. One, you cant crunch for months on end. Your performance degrades. And two, it will almost never be enough to ship the game on time anyway. the game always had an unrealistic ship date.

 

[Umbasaborne]

I really wish publishers and devs would stop lying about release dates. Fucking pathetic, clearly lying for pre orders and nothing more. Dont believe these dumb con artist next time they announce a release date


Anger aside, i think everyone saw this coming from a mile away, now we wait for all the games to get delayed out february and march to fall 2023 and 2024

 

[BigbyTheSheriff]

Guys, it might be a mistake. February 12 is Sunday.

 

[Skifi28]

You'd think that 2022 delays would be over by October, but nope. I'm expecting the Witcher 3 remastered next.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

They should take all the time they need to make the best game they can. Sales will not suffer if not hitting the Christmas holiday rush

 

[3liteDragon]

No official announcement, I'm starting to think Epic might've fucked up the date here.

 

[BigbyTheSheriff]

Yeah, they definitely misread the date format.

 

[Jennings]

Ah that's fine, Christmas season is packed with new games anyway. I still have a year worth of Nintendo releases to get through, and there's a lot of them.

 

[Gudji]

Should have made a bet thread.

 

[jhjfss]

2-12-2022
12-2-2023

 

[DeepEnigma]

On a Sunday?

 

[th4tguy]

The performance was looking choppy. They need the extra time to smooth the game out.

 

[Con_Z_ǝdʇ]

When was the last time a publisher or developer announced a date and delivered on that?

At least one delay is expected at this point.

If true it sure hurts but on the other hand the quality will be better in the end.

 

[Connificent]

 

[Windle Poons]

On a Sunday?

Sunday is the new midnight on a Friday

 

[anthony2690]

Should have made a bet thread.

I don't think it is delayed, it looks like someone outside the USA did the epic post.

2-12-xx (release date) UK format, day, month, year
12-2-xx (date above) USA format, month, day, year, but to someone outside the USA, it looks like the 12th Feb.

I'll always think the way people in the USA do dates is weird.

 

[skit_data]

I've been skeptical to it meeting that deadline for a while, but a month or two delay is no biggie and we'll probably get a better game in the end

 

[Wandering Leopard]

 

[ChoosableOne]

Not enough. They need at least 6 months/1 year, based on my experience with the game I made in Construct 2 in 3 months.

 

[FUBARx89]

Ok...Midnight Suns it is then.

Isn't it also delayed til 2023

 

[OmegaSupreme]

God, I hope not. Easily my most anticipated game this year.

 

[R6Rider]

 

[BigbyTheSheriff]

Isn't it also delayed til 2023

Nope. New date for the PC, Xbox Series and PS5 version is December 2.

 

[SkeletonQuays]

the listing page has the December 2022 date. I think this is a nothing burger. https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/the-callisto-protocol

 

[saintjules]

I always said in my head that it was too good to be true. But, so far this is the only place talking about the delay/weblink.

 

[Represent.]

Noooo way do they launch this after dead space remake. Fake

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Not much else I would want to play over the Christmas period

 

[FUBARx89]

Nope. New date for the PC, Xbox Series and PS5 version is December 2.

Sake. Can't keep up with it

 

[Stuart360]

Has there been a major AAA game this year that had no delays?.

 

[saintjules]

Hahaha, Bananas!

 

[remember_spinal]

Has there been a major AAA game this year that had no delays?.

Yep, all the nintendo games. Xenoblade even got moved upwards

 

[Moses85]

 

[Mister Wolf]

Not sweating it. There is a large backlog of games I need to play and finish. Bad move releasing after Dead Space.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

They probably decided to stop crunching after the blue hairs on twitter went after them. Can't blame them to be honest.

Hope everyone is happy now.

 

[Spukc]

Why are devs so fucking lazy

 

[TheGecko]

Hopefully it's fake, I feel like the OP needs a good kicking for this I've felt pissed off all night.

[xrnzaaas]

Hope that's not the case, it's been a weak year for bigger releases and Callisto Protocol is one of the games with a chance to save it. Besides Q1 of next year is PACKED already.

 

[MiguelItUp]

While I don't believe this, I don't feel confident enough to completely disregard it. Anything can happen, especially these days.

Page is updated, lists Dec 2 now.

False alarm, luckily.

 

[ByWatterson]

This quarter is crazy stacked already, really, so sorta welcome news?

Scorn, Plague Tale, MW2, God of War, and backlog is quite enough, thanks.

 

[Draugoth]

They fixed it:

Clarification: We originally suggested a February 12, 2023 release date for The Callisto Protocol. It was an error, and we're happy to clarify that the game is currently scheduled for a December 2, 2022 release.
