Impact Winter delayed six weeks

Impact Winter is delayed a little bit from April 12 to May 23. According to a development update on the official Impact Winter blog, the six-week delay helps the small indie team put things together in a more sensible manner (for the early game, especially), and that they strike a better gameplay balance to the adventure survival sim (overall).

Unfortunately Impact Winter will now release a little later than expected, hitting Steam on May 23, 2017. Why the delay? Well, the truth is, Impact Winter has become a lot bigger than we first expected: a pretty complex beast with lots of different systems and mechanics. Everything is in place, but one of our main priorities in the run up to release has been making sure that the initial stages of the game aren’t too overwhelming and that the overall experience is evenly balanced. Given the scope of the project and our team size it’s taking a little longer than expected. Ultimately, it’s all in aid of giving everyone the best experience possible which is the number-one priority.

The team at Mojo Bones has bought themselves about 40 days' worth of elbow polish from publisher Namco Bandai. Again, Impact Winter now launches April 12 on PC.

KEEP CALM AND STAY WARM, HELP WILL ARRIVE… A LITTLE LATER!

IMPACT WINTER™ WILL BE LAUNCHED ON MAY 23rd, 2017

Just a few more additional weeks to go before the adventure begins!

Lyon, FRANCE – April 3, 2017 – BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Europe and Mojo Bones announce today that the development of IMPACT WINTER needs a little bit more time to be completed. The post-apocalyptic survival adventure is going to arrive on May 23rd , 2017 on PC Digital. This will give more time to pre-order the PC Digital version and get the exclusive soundtrack created by composer Mitch Murder. The PlayStation®4 and Xbox One on digital versions are still planned to release later this year.

IMPACT WINTER will be coming on May 23rd, 2017 on PC and later this year for digital distribution. To know more about IMPACT WINTER please visit  impact-winter.com.
