Not the end of the world
“With our current workload, we could not have met our June release date without significant cuts to the quality and scope of the game,” KO_OP explained. “This would mean delivering something much different than what we’ve envisioned and worked toward.” Concerning crunch, the team say that launching on time “would require our team to work nights, weekends and early mornings to ship and risk burning people out.”
KO_OP also points to the busy month of June - which currently includesDiablo 4,Street Fighter 6, andFinal Fantasy16 - as another reason to delay, as it would give Volcano High “a greater chance of success,” away from a busy news cycle.
