Bad Guitar Games has announced a delay in the release of FragPunk for consoles, citing unexpected technical challenges during compliance testing. They expressed gratitude for the patience and support of players, promising a comparable experience to the PC version upon release.
As a gesture of appreciation, Bad Guitar Games will cancel all pre-orders, offer refunds, and provide $10 in in-store credit to pre-order customers. Rewards earned through social media engagement will still be honored, with a time-limited bundle replacing the pre-order period.
NetEase, the parent company of Bad Guitar Games, previously assured investors of FragPunk‘s readiness for launch, highlighting positive feedback and innovative gameplay. However, recent reports of layoffs and restructuring at NetEase raise questions about the studio’s future projects.
Despite the challenges, Bad Guitar Games remains committed to delivering a successful launch for FragPunk, aiming to capture the attention of multiplayer shooter fans with their unique style and system design.
