Pocky & Rocky Reshrined delayed to Spring 2022
Pocky & Rocky Reshrined has been delayed and will no longer release this year as originally planned. On Twitter, it was announced that the game has been pushed back to Spring 2022. This is due to unspecified circumstances.
Pocky & Rocky Reshrined was announced a year ago as KiKi KaiKai: Kuro Mantle no Nazo. It was confirmed for a western release soon after. And back in March of this year, the game was first planned for a Fall 2021 debut.
