Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 2 Comments
The Fall Part 2: Unbound was originally scheduled for Q3 2017. But in an announcement today, developer Over The Moon announced a delay, moving the game to February 2018.
The newest entry in The Fall is actually done. However, the studio explained that “releasing it in October, November or December, among all the AAA titles, is commercial suicide.” The extra time will also be used “to further polish the game, with every platform getting a version of The Fall Part 2: Unbound that makes the most of its capabilities.”
