Earlier this yr, in June, Do not Nod introduced Banishers can be launched in November however at present, the studio delayed its launch to subsequent yr. Extra particularly, Banishers will now hit PlayStation 5, Xbox Sequence X/S, and PC on February 13, 2024.
As for why, Don’t Nod CEO Oskar Guilbert says the crew 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} business launch of Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden throughout a much less saturated interval will give it the eye it deserves.”
Across the identical 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 is not any exception. Although completed and set for launch, we wish Pink and Antea’s story to get the highlight it deserves. In consequence, 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 in your persistence.”

Don’t Nod follows a rising pattern of smaller builders saying delays in mild of main upcoming releases. Summefall Studios delayed Stray Gods: The Position-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 have 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 take pleasure in their favourite video games.”
