Metroidvania ‘Soldiers’ hits two-week delay and releases in June

Retro Forge Games, developer of the upcoming pixelated Metroidvania Souldiers, just announced today that the game is being delayed a bit.

The development team is very sorry for such a short time, as the game was originally supposed to be released this month, May 19th. Now Metroidvania fans will have to wait a few more weeks to get their hands on the game.

Here is the statement from Retro Forge Games on Twitter:

mighty warriors,

We know how eager you are to start your adventure in Terragaya. However, the release of Souldiers, originally scheduled for May 19, should be transferred despite all our efforts 2 June on all platforms.

This is certainly not the announcement we wanted to make, we have to be as transparent and honest as possible with all of you. We have encountered unexpected difficulties and want to make sure the experience we offer you is the best it can be, so we had to delay the launch of the game a bit. But don’t worry, it’s only a matter of two weeks!

Thank you very much for your patience and understanding.

Published by Dear Villagers, this brutal action-platformer will let you play as three different classes, solve puzzles on a challenging metroidvania-style map, and engage in challenging Souls-inspired combat when it releases on June 2nd. A physical release is also expected later. We hope that these additional two weeks will allow the developers to fix the last few bugs and release a game they will be proud of!

If you would like to receive this, please let us know how you feel about the delay and if you are purchasing the physical edition.
