King’s Bounty II delayed again, now releasing in August
Posted on February 11, 2021 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch
King’s Bounty II, the latest entry in the turn-based tactics series, was originally planned for 2020. It was pushed back to this March. The game is now seeing another delay, with 1C Entertainment and Deep Silver setting a new date of August 24.
1C Entertainment CEO Nikolay Baryshnikov said of the latest delay:
“As a team, we had to make the difficult decision to move King’s Bounty II‘s release to a later point in 2021 to ensure the team has adequate time to deliver the best possible King’s Bounty experience.”
King’s Bounty II producer Denis Maltzev also had this to say:
“We are currently at a stage where the content is complete and playable, but we need more time to finish playtesting, fixing and polishing. The revised launch date will give us additional time for balancing, which is much needed for such an important project, with its ambitious open world, complex narrative and deep turn-based tactical and RPG mechanics.
Seeing the love and passion that you, our fans, put behind this project, we are grateful for all your support and ask for a little more patience. We are hoping that this won’t feel like a long delay and please make sure to keep an eye on our news channels to receive the latest updates as we approach the new release date.”
While today’s news will come as a disappointment for fans, we do at least have a new trailer below.
