Original (8/24): Aksys Games and Experience provided an update on Spirit Hunter: Death Mark II, revealing that the game has been delayed to February 2024. We should have a specific date closer to launch.
Previously, the title was planned to ship sometime this year. Aksys and Experience did not provide a reason for the updated release plans.
Deltarune creator Toby Fox has provided another update on the project, including news about launch timing once Chapter 4 is ready to go.
Fox confirmed that Chapter 3 “is pretty much content complete”. And since Chapter 5 is a long ways off, the plan is to let fans purchase the game once Chapter 4 – which already “has a very substantial amount of cutscenes and enemy work done” – is ready. Fox confirmed that a new producer has been hired to speed up the rest of development as well.
Fox said in a newsletter today:
