Just when I thought I'd be able to play as Blade... we get the announcement that the Midnight Suns has been delayed. It's less than a year away when you think about it, as long as they keep it that way.
Take-Two Interactive delayed the game into its next fiscal year as part of its second-quarter earnings release. While it's safe to jump and say that it's about the money, Take-Two's CEO Strauss Zelnick said the game required more development time.
He told GameIndustry.biz that "In this instance, there was more work to be done to make sure we deliver the best possible title," Zelnick said. He went on to say, "Our Standards are very high, and we don't take delays lightly. We always want to deliver the highest quality entertainment experiences...".
While it's a bummer to hear, it's bittersweet because it's going to be released in due time, and if they stand true to their word... we should be expecting a kick-ass game. Covid-19 did come up as a potential factor, which is something to think about when it comes to all developments, because they may find it easier to get into the studio and grind it out together versus separately. It's doable, but we don't know what the individual challenges are... which could also be a low morale type of thing.
Anyway, we shall see how things work out... and it had better be in the favor of gamers.
