A Project Genesis release date delay has been announced practically at the last minute on the Friday before it was supposed to launch in Early Access on Steam.
Project Genesis is a pretty intriguing game that blends spaceship combat with a heart-pounding first-person shooter experience. It's been in closed alpha for several months and the developers were all set for a public release this weekend. Unfortunately, it looks like there's going to be a delay of several weeks.
"We were very excited to release Project Genesis on Steam for Early Access this weekend," 8 Circuit Studios' President James Mayo said in a press release. "Unfortunately, we found several significant issues that we just couldn't release with given our targeted quality bar, even though the game is still in a very early pre-alpha state. However, this delay will allow us to include some additional features that the community has been asking for, like improved weapons systems and a new map configuration."
While the launch date being pushed back is certainly disappointing, the devs are making up for it in a small way: they're giving away the game's soundtrack on Steam to everyone for free.
How Long is the Project Genesis Release Date Delay?
If you've been looking forward to this game, you won't have to wait too long to get your hands on it.
The new Project Genesis release date is May 22, 2020. From there, the game will launch in Steam Early Access in an alpha state, allowing players to check out early content and get a feel for the game.
