Xbox One/PC's Below Delayed Once Again, and There's No New Date Yet

Capybara Games' Below has been delayed again. It was originally supposed to release in 2014 before getting delayed to 2015 then again to 2016. It was expected to launch this summer, but the independent developer announced in a blog post today that the Dark Souls and Zelda-inspired roguelike is delayed until further notice.

"We told you Below would be out this summer," the post reads. "Our team worked hard to make that deadline a reality. But after a strong push, we’ve decided it isn’t ready.

"We knew we wanted to get it into your hands as soon as possible. We knew the game was there, and we’re super proud of it, but we also knew it needed more time to make sure it lives up to our studio's standards, and the quality that you expect from our games. From the very beginning, Below has been our most ambitious undertaking, and we're just not quite done excavating its depths, or polishing all of its facets."

Capybara stated that instead of announcing a "new, loose release window," it would announce a "firm release date" with the next major Below update.

"We're sorry we let you down with yet another delay," the post continues. "But in the end, we need to make certain that the hard work we've put into this game turns into something you'll love, and to us that unfortunately means keeping Below in the oven a while longer, until it truly is ready."

Below is slated to release on Xbox One and PC.
