Antonblast delayed to December

Antonblast was last planned for November, but the game is being delayed by a few weeks.

Summitsphere shared an update in a statement posted today. After the team has been impacted by the recent hurricanes in the United States, more time will be needed to get things back to normal and wrap up everything needed for launch. 

We were originally planning on seeing Antonblast on the Switch eShop next month. However, it has now been pushed back to December 3.

The full statement from studio head Tony Grayson is as follows:

This is Tony, Studio Head at Summitsphere and Director on Antonblast.

Summitsphere is a studio with roots planted across the southeastern United States, and as you’ve likely heard, Hurricanes Helene and Milton have ravaged this area in particular. Relief efforts are currently underway for those impacted; we’re sharing links to some of those so you can contribute if you like.

As for us, we are thankfully all safe… but the hurricanes have directly and indirectly affected a number of our team and their ability to work, with some going weeks without power.

I have personally gone on record stating that the team has no interest in releasing anything less than the best version of Antonblast. As such, we have made the difficult decision to delay the game’s launch from November 12 to December 3.

Now, I can appreciate that having to wait that much longer kinda sucks…

So to make it up to you, I’m happy to announce that we’re bringing you One Blast Demo, playable at Steam Next Fest next week. This demo will feature a totally revamped Boiler City, as well as the “never-before-playable Slowroast Sewer (and maybe a few other surprises, too).

We’ll also be making efforts to bring One Blast Demo as an update to Nintendo Switch within the coming weeks, pending platform approval.

All of us at Summitsphere are looking forward to bringing Antonblast to you very soon. Thank you for the endless support you’ve shown us.

We’ll let you know if there happen to be any other release date changes. In the meantime, check out our original report on the game here.
