Annapurna Interactive and Heart Machine have announced that their upcoming game Solar Ash has been delayed until the 2nd of December. 

“We want Solar Ash to shine, and we need a bit more time to get the last pieces of polish and bug fixes into the game, while still navigating this global pandemic as a highly dedicated team,” Heart Machine announced in a statement on Twitter.

Throughout the past year and a half, we’ve seen a number of games struggling to face the challenges presented by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, so it’s hardly a surprise that another game has been added to the long list of delays. 

If you’ve not heard of it before, Solar Ash is a gorgeous 3D platformer, from the makers of 2016’s Hyper Light Drifter, with “mystery, wild high-speed traversal, endearing characters, and massive enemy encounters,” that you’ll face as you take on the role of a Voidrunner called Rei.
