This is a delay of over two-and-a-half months, but that’s sadly not the end of the bad news. Fatshark also said that the Xbox Series X\/S version will not arrive on the same date with PC, and will instead launch “shortly after.”<\/p>\n

The studio shared a statement on Twitter by co-founder and CEO Martin Wahlund, who said the decision to delay the game was hard, but necessary to ensure the day one experience is the best it can be.
