Earlier this yr, in June, Do not Nod introduced Banishers shall be launched in November however right now, the studio delayed its launch to subsequent yr. Extra particularly, Banishers will now hit PlayStation 5, Xbox Collection X/S, and PC on February 13, 2024.
As for why, Don’t Nod CEO Oskar Guilbert says the group is aiming for a “much less saturated interval” of online game releases, alluding to the swath of video games releasing within the coming weeks, together with subsequent month’s Murderer’s Creed Mirage, Tremendous Mario Bros. Marvel, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Alan Wake 2, and extra (and that’s simply a few of what’s releasing in October, which then leads proper into November).
“We’ve determined to postpone the discharge of this new franchise by three months, because the market is experiencing an intense launch cycle for AAA titles on PC and consoles on the finish of the yr,” Guilbert writes in a press launch. “We’re satisfied {that a} industrial launch of Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden throughout a much less saturated interval will give it the eye it deserves.”
Across the similar time, Don’t Nod launched a separate assertion on Twitter:
“With so many unforgettable video games in 2023, it’s essential that every of them shines brightly. Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden isn’t any exception. Although completed and set for launch, we would like Crimson and Antea’s story to get the highlight it deserves. Because of this, with our writer Focus Leisure, we took the choice to postpone its launch on PC & Consoles to February 13, 2024. An ideal date for an epic love story. Thanks to your endurance.”

Don’t Nod follows a rising pattern of smaller builders asserting delays in gentle of main upcoming releases. Summefall Studios delayed Stray Gods: The Function-Enjoying Musical to get its launch away from Baldur’s Gate 3, and in August, Ubisoft pushed Murderer’s Creed Mirage’s launch date up every week. Whereas Ubisoft didn’t say why, a take a look at October’s launch date calendar makes the message clear (though admittedly, that’s hypothesis on our finish). Alone within the Darkish was pushed to January to keep away from Spider-Man 2’s blast radius. And final month, Treatment Leisure delayed Alan Wake 2 by 10 days to provide gamers “house for everybody to get pleasure from their favourite video games.”
