Bushiden pushed back to Spring/Summer 2021, new gameplay footage
Bushiden, the futuristic ninja action-platformer from Pixel Arc Studios, won’t be out by August as originally expected. In a Kickstarter update today, the developer revealed that it is now targeting a new Spring/Summer 2021 release window.
Writing about the delay, Pixel Arc Studios said:
Unfortunately, Bushiden is going to be delayed beyond its estimated delivery date of August 2020. We understand this is disappointing for all of you. It is not easy for us to share this news and it is disappointing for us as well.
We are currently aiming for a Spring/Summer 2021 release and feel confident about this time frame. We want to be clear that the game is in good shape. The team is not struggling with anything, the core technology is solid, and the assets (art, music, sfx) are all coming along nicely. Everyone who has played early builds of the game has come away very positive and enthusiastic about it.
The team needs more time to make the game everything that you all expect it to be. This includes making sure the combat and enemy AI are engaging, the level layouts are fun and unique, and the boss battles deliver the challenge and thrill that boss battles should deliver in a game like this. We are working very hard to make sure Bushiden lives up to your expectations.
The news of Bushiden’s delay was slightly softened by Pixel Arc Studios sharing a new gameplay video. We’ve included it below.
