Mighty No. 9 has received a significant delay. On the game’s backer forums, it was confirmed that the title is now targeted for Q1 2016.

Speaking about the delay, the team behind Mighty No. 9 stated:

Of course, it is important to explain why exactly the game is being delayed. As we have communicated in the updates to our backers, all of the core content for the game is developed and in a complete state. However, there are still bugs and issues pertaining to the online features that are included in the game. These bugs and issues have a direct affect on enjoyment of the game, so a decision was made to work these issues out before release. Currently, comcept and their partners are working at full capacity to resolve these issues and fix any remaining bugs.

Remember: Mighty No. 9 was originally planned for September. It could now launch as late as March 2016.
