Tango Gameworks and Bethesda Softworks have announced that their upcoming sci-fi/horror game Ghostwire: Tokyo is getting a delay and it’s now scheduled for launch in early 2022.
Here’s what they said in the official statement issued on Twitter: “We’ve made the decision to delay the launch of Ghostwire: Tokyo to early 2022. We want to get the game in your hands as soon as possible so you can experience the unforgettable version of a haunted Tokyo that we’ve been hard at work building.
At the same time, we’re also focused on protecting the health of everyone at Tango. Our new release window will give us time to bring the world of Ghostwire to life as we’ve always envisioned it. Thank you for being patient as we work to bring you an experience unlike anything else we’ve ever made. We can’t wait to show you more in the coming months.”
The game was initially announced during E3 2019 was the brainchild of The Evil Within‘s Shinji Mikami and Ikumi Nakamura. Even though Nakamura is no longer involved in the project, Tango Gameworks are still working on it (with Kenji Kimura in charge as the game director).
Ghostwire: Tokyo will launch in early 2022 on PC and PS5.
