They say they confirmed it by multiple european outlets.

 

[Kolx]

Fuck.
Edit: reading the source of this, uhhh I'll wait before believing this rumor.

 

[Lifejumper]

Mannnnn 2022 sucks in term of game releases.

 

[La Fawn Duh]

This is a joke. No way.


2021 they said. Oh boy.

 

[Izanagi89]

PAIN

 

[Spring-Loaded]

a delayed game

 

[Biosnake]

NOT LIKE THIS

 

[Matzpxl]

Yep, it was too good to be true

 

[OnanieBomb]

Is it really a delay if it was never gonna make it in the first place

 

[TaySan]

I hope this is not true :(
2022 is already baren for releases

 

[Streusel]

remember that thread asking which of starfield, gow, botw 2 and ff 16 will release this year?

 

[Lotus]

Remember when this year had the opportunity to become GOAT'd?

Guess that'll be 2023 now...

 

[Stike]

Why would they submit it to the Korean ratings board and then delay it?

Has this happened before?

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Shock

 

[cw_sasuke]

Makes sense to keep it for next year, not really needed to sell PS5 systems this year.

 

[Chasing]

So that's the last of the 3 big ones.

Now who wants to bet what gets delayed out of 2023?

 

[TheRealTalker]

Pain

 

[XSX]

Not surprised

 

[Joule]

from 2021 to possibly 2023

💀


edit: 5 years for a sequel and they didn't have to redo significant gameplay from scratch 💀

 

[AImalexia]

gamereactor españa my favourite reliable source

 

[Gero]

all these fucking delays... and this is supposed to be a 2021 title?

 

[Afrikan]

It's a cross-gen game... what happened? Anyway let's wait for more news.

 

[Temascos]

Damn, if true that's a shame. It looked relatively close to completion last year with that trailer.

 

[Earvin Infinity]

So, Elden Ring pretty much has GOTY on lock, then.

I mean, it probably already does any way :p

 

[dgamemaster]

Elden Ring wins GOTY if true no contest

 

[Meg Cherry]

Yeah, can't really say I'm surprised. This never felt like a guaranteed 2022 release, and with the state of every other AAA release - the assumption is absolutely 'assume a delay' until further notice.

 

[Rodelero]

Disappointing, but happy for them to take their time.

Games can be submitted for ratings at nearly any point in the development process. A game doesn't need to be content-complete to be rated, especially if you already know up front you're shooting for an M (or equivalent) rating.

 

[DixieDean82]

Cakewalk of a GOTY for Elden Ring.

Covid has been brutal on this year. Next year is looking lit, though.

 

[Eamon]

They can take their time with it - that game is going to be excellent

It always had it locked

 

[gifyku]

Elden Ring GOTY confirmed but with an asterisk.

(sorry, a little NBA joke)

 

[wildphantom_]

If the source is retailers they don't know shit (I used to work in head office for a UK retailer and we had no idea when things were coming out even the local publishing team).

 

[PianoBlack]

"2021"

Spoiler

not meant to be a dunk, more holy shit what a number COVID did on production speed

 

[MrPink]

So we're gonna have another crowded Winter/Spring again, aren't we.

 

[SunBroDave]

Who could have seen this coming

 

[DarthWalden]

Honestly 2022 always felt like a pipe dream but also in the last few months it really seemed like it might hit 2022.

Oh well, I'm always in favor of delaying a game (espeically one like this that millions of people are going to play through at launch and then never return too)

 

[Pankratous]

Not fussed, backlog is insane anyway.

 

[JaseC64]

Sony will release it close to BoTW2 as revenge.

 

[Amnixia]

wouldn't be such a big shock, given the lack of well… anything.

2023 is looking absolutely fucking stacked now though

 

[Deleted member11191]

Expected sadly

 

[Markratos]

With they rumored Tlou Remake release I was expecting this outcome. What a disaster.

 

[Pendas]

Elden Ring wins GOTY if true no contest

Click to shrink...

Yup... but 2023??

That's going to be a bloodbath.

 

[Okabe]

Oooooof

 

[renegade_sylens]

Once again, 2023 is looking stacked! BOTW 2, God of War Ragnarok, Starfield, Final Fantasy XVI, Alan Wake II, Spider-man 2, Star Wars: Jedi Survivor, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, The Wolf Among Us 2....

 

[Oneandonly16]

Next year is looking lit.

Click to shrink...

Yeah this is my outlook at this point. 2023 is going to be crazy

 

[Roosevelt]

Least surprising news all year

[the magical kitsune]

Someone bump the thread again, you know the one.

 

[TheRaidenPT]

I live in Spain. There has been discussion among some people at some 'important retailer' about this.. I heard mumblings around some What's App Groups that God of War has been delayed until the end of the year or some date later on, again this is just retailers talking.

I can't comment on the localisation but I do know some of them lurk around here!
