Italian studio 34BigThings have announced that Redout: Space Assault has been delayed.

The space dogfighting spin-off to their popular antigrav racer from 2016 was originally targeting a Q1 2019 release, but in a recent update 34BigThings’ CEO Valerio Di Donato announced that the game has been pushed back to an unspecified date:

“Dear players and fans,

We are sorry to announce that Redout: Space Assault will be delayed. We do not know yet when the game will come out, and whether it will come out this year or not.

Ever since the reveal trailer last November, we have been flooded by your passionate reception for this title. We know you have high expectations for this game, and for the franchise as a whole. We want to deliver a game worthy of those expectations and the trust you have in us, and as the game stands, it is not living up to those expectations.

In its current state, Redout: Space Assault has not yet reached its full potential. We want to add more features to make the game better, as well as strengthening the narrative and the storytelling. We will keep working hard to deliver a game that will blow you away.”
