Antonblast Game Delayed on Nintendo Switch: Wario Land-Inspired Title Postponed
In a surprising turn of events, Summitsphere, the developer behind the highly anticipated Wario Land-inspired platformer Antonblast, has announced a delay in the release of the game on the Nintendo Switch. While the game is still on track for a launch on Steam on 3rd December 2024, it seems that the Switch version needs more time to meet the developer’s and Nintendo’s high standards.
Why the Delay?
Director Tony Grayson explained in a social media announcement that the team requires additional time to ensure that the Nintendo Switch version of Antonblast is running smoothly and meeting the quality expectations set by both the developers and Nintendo. Despite the setback, Summitsphere is committed to keeping fans informed every step of the way and is still aiming for a release in 2024.
What to Expect from Antonblast
For those eager to get a taste of Antonblast before its official release, a demo is currently available on the Switch eShop. The game boasts stunning pixel art visuals, offering players a fast-paced action platformer experience filled with charming personality and amusing character sprites.
Impacts of Previous Delays
This delay comes after an initial setback in October due to the effects of Hurricane Helene and Milton in the US, which directly affected the development team at Summitsphere. Despite these challenges, the hard work put into the game has paid off, with Antonblast receiving positive feedback on Steam. The anticipation for the Switch version remains high among fans eagerly awaiting its imminent release.
