Developer and publisher Iggymob have announced a delay in the release window for Gungrave G.O.R.E.

While previously planned for December 2019, general director Kay and producer Jun explain that the positive reception of the game has driven the team to work harder. In addition, the addition of new staff means the team hopes to “make something greater.”

“The trailer we have revealed during the Tokyo Game Show 2019 hit 1 million views in 2 weeks. As of today, the trailer hit 5 million views globally. This motivated us so much.
Fans from the past keep supporting us and those who didn’t know what Gungrave was, now is showing interest in us.
Which gave us the drive to “make the game even cooler than we wanted to make”.
We’ve had hardships and we will face even more but we will not give up and we will present you with “cooler game”.

[…] Our dream to make this game amazing became even firmer than before.
We’ve been running and running to find the artists and developers to overcome our current ability for the game.
It took us some time to find them but we were so lucky to find those who agree, support and want to be part of our dream with their abilities. We are confident that the quality will be enhanced working with them and because we get to work with them, those hardships felt like nothing.
Mr. Kamikokyuryo, Mr. Benoit, Mr. Robert and our new signing, Mr. Kawamura give us new inspiration and with them, we are making something great together.
As we were looking into our new members and Gungrave GORE. We realized we can make something greater than we originally planned.
We are moving forward with the thoughts of “make something greater”.”

Gungrave G.O.R.E. will launch 2020 in Japan for PlayStation 4.
