The developers have decided to push the release date due to a recent Steam launch-discount-cooldown rule change. This will also allow the game to take advantage of a featuring in the upcoming Steam Fest as detailed on the Steam blog post by Trese Brothers. The latest Kickstarter update confirms that it is still coming to mobile (with a comment about console versions) and that the developers will start working on the ports after the Steam launch.
Cyber Knights: Flashpoint launches on June 2 for PC (Steam). It is currently available in Steam Early Access.
You can find the full announcement from Trese Brothers with the latest trailer below:
Knights, a combination of unexpected events have given us an opportunity that could make a major impact on the success of Cyber Knights' launch. But it requires us to hold off on the 1.0 release for just a couple weeks longer, shifting our launch 18 days from May 15th to June 2nd.
We're shifting the launch date so we can take advantage of a window that was not previously possible for us until a recent Steam launch-discount-cooldown rule change, and receive featuring from #TurnBasedThursdayFest, a games festival we've long supported that is about to have its best year yet!
Regardless, we apologize for making you wait a little longer, and to anyone who's made plans around our launch. We just learned about this opportunity a few days ago, weighed the tradeoffs, made the decision, and are sharing this news as soon as we could to give you as much notice as possible.
A game's full release is a once-in-its-lifetime event that for most games forever shapes their trajectory afterwards. We've put everything into Cyber Knights: Flashpoint and need to make sure we're giving its launch every advantage possible; hope you'll understand and share our satisfaction that this change is ultimately good news for the game and its future!
We're as eager as you are, and very ready for the fun of a final countdown to launch even as we keep pushing updates and more content for the game in EA. Please update your calendars -- we'll see you June 2nd with the launch update!
