Zero Time Dilemma pre-order watches now being sent to retailers
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 2 Comments
About a year before Zero Time Dilemma came out, Aksys took pre-orders for a limited edition version of the game. The publisher hoped to hook up fans who put in an early reservation with a special watch. But due to watches being damaged in transit, no one has received the bonus item just yet.
Yesterday, Aksys shared an update about the situation Twitter. Replacement watches arrived in the warehouse, and they’ll now be going out to retailers. That means Amazon and GameStop should finally be able to send out the watches very soon.
The official tweet reads:
We've received ZTD watches in our warehouse and we'll be sending these out to our retail partners. They will provide you w/ ship updates.
