Code Vein delayed to 2019 from September 28th

[Kenzodielocke]

Throughout its pre-release promotion campaign, Code Vein has consistently garnered positive reactions from both media and consumers alike. With this knowledge in-hand, Bandai Namco Inc. has made the decision to dedicate additional time to further develop Code Vein; ensuring the final product delivers on the expectations set amongst media and fans.

"Code Vein has received an enormous amount of positive feedback from eager fans who have received hands-on time with in-development versions of the game over the past nine months," said Eric Hartness, Vice President of Marketing for Bandai Namco Entertainment America Inc. "Armed with knowledge of how well the game has already been received, we made the decision to postpone the release of Code Vein to further refine its gameplay in an effort to exceed the expectations fans already have of the title. It was a difficult decision to make, but we feel it is the correct one."

—Bandai Namco Entertainment Asia

"We are thankful to Code Vein fans for giving us a huge positive feedback on the development versions of the game for the past months, as a result of the overwhelming support from the fans, we decided to postpone the release of Code Vein to further refine the game and hope to exceed fans' expectation." said Rainel Tan, General Manager at Bandai Namco Entertainment Asia. "It is a difficult decision, but we hope that once the fans gets to play the final version, they will agree with us that this decision is a right one!"

Phew, hopefully early 2019 when it's not yet that crowded. I might even get this day 1, September is just a BLOODBATH.

 

[Twilight Suzuka]

Probably a good idea. This game looks fun enough for me to get. But it was going to get swallowed up in September.

They should put out a demo or a beta this year like Nioh did, and use the extra time to tweak a few things.

 

[casnix]

That's a bummer. I was looking forward to it. At least they'll have extra time to polish it up more.

 

[chobel]

Let me guess, February 22nd?

 

[Daouzin]

Woooooooow!

Super Bummed!

I was really looking forward to this, especially after playing it at E3. It definitely needed more time in the oven, but man, I was totally ready for it.

 

[Noire]

For the kind of game it's trying to be it's probably for the best. September is crazy with a ton of other releases anyway.

 

[Deleted member 5535]

I bet that it's coming on february

 

[Deleted member 36578]

There's a much better chance of me picking it up now that it's outta september, so it could be for the best.,

 

[Dreamboum]

They prob realized that they have an actual IP on their hands

 

[Nothing]

Jan/Feb is the new Sept/Oct.

Have you seen the slate of games??

January 29th.

 

[KCroxtonJr]

Hmm, hope this turns out for the better.

Wonder if they'll fix the ladder climb animation lol

 

[Chasing]

Will be real funny if they did it only to move it to February.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Are all these game publishers gonna shit their pants when RDR2 announces the delay to early 2019 I wonder?

 

[Kurumi]

Oh thank god. September will be a little easier for me.

 

[Quinton]

Seems like the smart move here.

 

[Twilight Suzuka]

Resident Evil 2 and KH 3 in January.

Nothing in February at the moment that would steal from this particular audience.

 

[CielTynave]

Well, I guess this is good since it means it won't get lost in all of the releases that are coming in September, but fuck, this was actually the only game I was getting that month lol. Well, I guess unless TWEWY comes out for us at the same time as the release.

Guess this means I have to go a bit longer without that sweet Go Shiina OST.

 

[Vertpin]

Haven't followed this game recently. How have the impressions been?

 

[StraySheep]

Ben Moore will be happy.

 

[Deleted member 5535]

Which one?

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

I'd probably skip it if it came out around that time, and well if this is to make the game better then that's even better.

 

[Kainé]

Resident Evil 2 and KH 3 in January.

Can't tell if this is sarcasm or not.

 

[Trace]

Honestly that's a good idea.

Stacked year and it was still looking a little rough around the edges.

 

[texhnolyze]

It's probably for the best, I guess. September 2018 is too packed.

 

[SageShinigami]

2019 is starting out packed thanks to all the games trying to dodge Red Dead.

 

[Deleted member 864]

September is packed, I don't mind this delay.

 

[Lnds500]

The press releases don't mention any dates though... Where are they getting 2019 from?

 

[Falconbox]

What is coming out in September that everyone keeps saying it's so full?

There's Spider-Man and Dragon Quest 11 at the very beginning of the month and Shadow of the Tomb Raider a week later.

 

[Azure Wanderer]

Next year is hella packed. 2017: Revengeance?

 

[SinCityAssassin]

The year of delays, but it avoided utter death.

DQ11, Spider-Man, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Spyro Trilogy, Valkyria Chronicles 4, Life is Strange 2, TWEWY Switch, DBFZ for Switch, and Destiny 2 expansion

It's multiple games that all appeal to the same audience.

Valkyria Chronicles 4
Dragon Quest XI
Soul Calibur VI in October
Fist of the Northstar in October

It just seems weird to put out 5 semi-niche Japanese games all on top of each other. And then Resident Evil 2 and KH 3 in January. And this isn't counting some of the blockbuster western titles.

It's just lower odds that people can buy 5 games. So inevitably it will suffer.

 

[Deleted member 1839]

Something to had to give and I guess it was this game, but now it's probably gonna move to another crowded spot next year.

 

[Tagg]

That's one hell of a delay, at least 3 months if not longer.

 

[sfortunato]

Preorders were super-low, almost close to non-existent.

 

[Dot-N-Run]

Ah, pulling the old gravity rush 2 trick I see.

 

[Shoshi]

Reason: They had to change that Bloodborne Amelia or else Fromsoft second class lawsuit ;)

 

[Strings]

This is one way to avoid my prediction of 'the bomba of 2018'.

 

[halcali]

this is only a good thing, in my view.

Plenty of games to keep us occupied, in the meantime.

 

[ShinySunny]

I am actually glad.
So many games from Sept-Dec that I won't have time to play them until end of Spring 2019 tbh.

 

[ghoulie]

Damn, really looking forward to playing this, but with so much else coming out the rest of the year I don't really have a problem with it.

but if it kept its release date, you could have bought it in spring for cheaper

 

[Driver]

Yeah good move. I played it at E3 and it's looking good. It was gonna get clobbered in late September though. I'm still looking forward to this one.

 

[ClayModel]

Hmm, well if the month it'll be released in is dry, guess I'll get this game.

 

[Aters]

For September game that's a huge delay.

 

[noyram23]

Can't tell if this is sarcasm or not.

Click to shrink...

No, I mean sure it is crowded than normal but not September bloodbath. I think Feb and March is a good months to launch in

 

[CrazyAndy]

January only has Resident Evil 2 and Kingdom Hearts 3 so far so hopefully January. February is already too crowded.
