Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Antipole DX will no longer launch in 2016 as originally planned. In a Miiverse post, creator Edward Di Geronimo explained that the project is roughly 95 percent complete, though other obligations have prevented development from finishing entirely. Although it’s nearly done, we won’t be seeing Antipole DX this year.
Geronimo isn’t ready to share any sort of new date at the moment. He said Antipole DX “is very close to done and doesn’t need a lot more work, but I’m just not sure when the timing will work out.”
