Publisher Dear Villagers and indie studio Retro Forge have announced today that they are delaying their 16-bit inspired action-RPG Metroidvania adventure game, Souldiers. The game was originally planned for a May 19th, 2022 launch on all platforms, but the release has been pushed back to June 2nd, 2022 on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|X, Nintendo Switch, and PC (via Steam and GOG).

“We’re very pleased with how Souldiers is coming along overall, but we still have a few bugs to work out and we want to ensure that when we release the game – and ask consumers to spend their hard-earned money on it – that they’re getting a bug-free premium experience,” said Alberto Hernández, creative director at Retro Forge.
“We know how much it sucks to have to wait longer, but we assure everyone that it will be worth the wait. We’re a small team, and developing a game of Souldiers’ scale, during a global pandemic no less, saw us overcoming many unforeseen challenges, so we really appreciate your patience as we polish up Souldiers into the refined retro experience you all deserve..”
