00:11we've got some bad news for you.
00:13Here are 10 games that were delayed into 2025.
00:18Before we begin,
00:23we publish new content all week long.

00:27the bell to get notified about our latest videos.
00:30Vampire The Masquerade, Bloodlines 2.
00:35You had some interesting guests outside. Expecting trouble?
00:39That depends. Why are you here?
00:43Polly tells me you keep the court secrets and its histories.
00:47If you've been keeping up on news of this game's development,
00:50you know it has been troubled to say the least.
00:53A sequel to the 2004 cult classic based on the tabletop RPG,
00:57Vampire The Masquerade, Bloodlines 2 was announced back in
01:012019 for a March 2020 release window.
01:05Many people working on it have since left,
01:07either by their own decision or not,
01:10which has led to multiple delays.
01:13In 2021, publisher Paradox Interactive announced that
01:16the developer Hardsuit Labs was no longer working on it,
01:20and the game was almost canceled.
01:22The Chinese Room was announced as the new developer in
01:252023 and a late 2024 release window was given.
01:29Sadly, in August of this year,
01:32it suffered yet another delay,
01:34this time to the first half of 2025.
01:37Now I have to do what he told me.
01:45By Sweet Carol.
01:47An inadequate for that world of ash,
01:50tar and coal where she was born.
01:53Two things that are exceptionally difficult to create
01:57are video games and hand-drawn animation.
02:00By Sweet Carol is a horror fantasy game with
02:03visuals inspired by classic Disney movies.
02:06Set in Britain during the early 1900s,
02:09it follows a young girl, Lana,
02:11digging into the disappearance of her best friend and
02:14uncovering a twisted magical world along the way.
02:18It was announced in 2021,
02:20revealed in 2023,
02:21and was given a broad 2024 release window.
02:25However, in August of this year,
02:27it was pushed back to an unspecified date in 2025.
02:31The update came with news of what extra time would be spent on,
02:35including improved lighting effects and
02:37reworked cut scenes and gameplay.
02:39It looks incredibly enticing already,
02:42so more time will only help.
02:47Kingdom Come Deliverance 2.
02:54I always dreamt of leaving this place.
03:00Becoming more than a peasant.
03:03The original Kingdom Come Deliverance,
03:05released in 2018,
03:06gained a passionate following thanks to its historical focus.
03:10According to developer Warhorse Studios,
03:13which began work on a sequel in 2019 and has
03:16grown significantly since then,
03:18the next chapter will feature
03:20multiple elements they couldn't include in the first.
03:23Picking back up on the hero Henry,
03:25players will fight against the forces of Holy Roman Emperor Sigismund
03:29during civil war in the 15th century.
03:32The game was announced in April of 2024
03:35with a plan of release towards the end of the year.
03:37That turned out to be fairly premature since
03:41the game was pushed back just a few months later in August.
03:45It will now be released on February 11th, 2025.
03:49The innkeeper said you were playing dice with Runyek.
03:52You know Runyek?
03:54Then you must have a drink with us.
03:56Nivalis.
03:58So make friends, make enemies.
04:01Give customers a route, just turn on the old charm.
04:05Ionlands really loves itself a cyberpunk setting.
04:09After releasing the 2020 adventure game Cloudpunk,
04:12the developer's next game is Nivalis,
04:15set in the titular setting from its previous release,
04:18but with different gameplay.
04:20The life sim will give players total control
04:23in how they spend their time
04:24and what profession they choose to chase,
04:27starting small and building up to gain glory and wealth.
04:31While players were initially meant to enjoy it sometime this year,
04:34the developer issued a delay back in June.
04:37It seems Nivalis has grown grander than they had imagined.
04:40The update came with a trailer showing off new locations
04:43and introducing a key new character in Ava,
04:46along with a new release window of spring 2025.
04:50And I can confirm that you are performing above average.
04:55Good news.
04:56Tales of Iron 2, Whiskers of Winter.
05:00As war raged in the south,
05:03a terrible evil stirred in the north.
05:07With its Souls-like gameplay, strong art style,
05:10and unique premise,
05:112021's Tales of Iron gained a lot of love.
05:15It followed a young rat warrior
05:17fighting to defend his kingdom from an army of frog invaders.
05:21Despite that setup, it was actually pretty dark.
05:25It's not something we would have necessarily expected
05:27to get a sequel of,
05:29so it came as a nice surprise
05:31when one was announced in March of 2024.
05:33Focusing on a new character and conflict,
05:36only a 2024 release window was given.
05:39However, in August, publisher United Label
05:41stated the game had been pushed back to February 2025.
05:46Along with a new trailer,
05:47the update came with several gameplay features,
05:50as well as confirmation that Doug Cockle,
05:53Geralt of Rivia himself, was returning as the narrator.
05:57Tales of Iron 2, Whiskers of Winter.
06:01Little Nightmares III.
06:03Although the original developer on the series,
06:06Tarsier Studios, was purchased by Embracer Group in 2019,
06:11publisher Bandai Namco plans on continuing
06:13with the Little Nightmares IP.
06:16A third game was revealed in 2023
06:18and is being worked on by Supermassive Games,
06:21known for Until Dawn and the Dark Pictures anthology.
06:24It will follow two new children
06:26trapped in a horrific setting,
06:28each with a new identity.
06:31trapped in a horrific setting,
06:33each with slightly different mechanics.
06:35You can either play alone with an AI companion or in co-op.
06:39It was given a general 2024 release window,
06:42but then in May of this year,
06:44the team revealed it had been pushed back to 2025
06:47to ensure the game's quality is of the highest caliber.
06:51We'll have to wait a little longer on anything specific.
06:54If you were one of many to fall in love
07:12with 2016's Hyper Light Drifter
07:14and its successor, 2021's Solar Ash,
07:18you were probably excited to hear
07:19about another game in the works.
07:21Being an open-world roguelike
07:23with the option to play with two others,
07:25Hyper Light Breaker looks to be an expansive step up
07:29from its predecessors.
07:30Developer Heart Machine and publisher Ark Games
07:33revealed the title in 2022
07:35and planned to release it in early access in 2023.
07:39However, it clearly hit a few roadblocks.
07:42It was pushed back to summer 2024,
07:45but once again in August, it was delayed to early 2025.
07:49Here's hoping that new window sticks.
07:54Replaced.
08:03Revealed back in 2021,
08:05we've had our eyes on Replaced ever since.
08:08Set in the alternate dystopian 1980s,
08:11it follows an AI trapped in a human body.
08:14As the world around us crumbles,
08:16we'll dig into mysteries of the corrupt ones
08:18governing the world.
08:20Combat looks to be fluid and tense,
08:23but the visuals are also very impressive.
08:26It utilizes pixel art,
08:27but with dynamic lighting and camera work
08:30to give it modern style.
08:31Originally intended for a 2022 release,
08:34it's another game that has been hit by several delays.
08:38The latest came in August of this year
08:40when developer Sad Cat Studios gave it a blanket 2025 release.
08:46Avowed.
08:47Your emperor has chosen you
08:50as our envoy to the living lands.
08:53Obsidian Entertainment is usually trustworthy
08:56when it comes to delivering solid action RPGs.
08:59Announced in 2020,
09:01Avowed looked to be their take
09:03on an open Skyrim-like first-person adventure.
09:07It's a game that's been a huge hit
09:09since its launch in January of this year.
09:12Along with it being set in the Pillars of Eternity universe,
09:15the developer's track record
09:17made it one of our most anticipated games of the year.
09:20However, like many games on this list,
09:22it was delayed back in August,
09:25with Xbox stating it was to give players
09:27more breathing room with their backlogs.
09:29The new date, though,
09:31is a bit of a surprise.
09:32It's been a while since we've seen
09:34a game that's been so well-received
09:36that we can't wait to see what it's going to be like.
09:38With their backlogs.
09:40The new date, though,
09:41is February 18th, 2025.
09:44And that month is starting to get pretty crowded, too.
09:48There are a lot of eyes on Assassin's Creed Shadows,
09:53belonging to one of,
09:54if not the most popular franchise at Ubisoft.
09:58Fans have been craving a look at this game
10:00for a while now,
10:01but it's been a while since we've seen it.
10:03It's been a while since we've seen a game
10:05that's been so well-received
10:07that we can't wait to see what it's going to be like.
10:09And while we're on the subject of the game,
10:11we're also going to be talking about
10:13a game that's been a huge hit
10:15since its launch in January of this year.
10:17Fans have been craving a samurai entry for a long time,
10:21and the game drew significant conversation
10:23upon the reveal that historical figure Yasuke
10:26would be one of two protagonists.
10:28The studio's financial performance
10:30has been on the decline,
10:32as has its reputation
10:34following several controversies.
10:36Due to the poor performance of Star Wars Outlaws,
10:38which had the highest budget of any Ubisoft game,
10:42Shadows was delayed from its November 15th release date
10:45for further polishing.
10:47And will now launch February 14th, 2025.
10:51See what we mean by crowded?
10:52Hopefully, these extra months
10:54get the game to a state that satisfies players.
11:05Which of these games are you sad
11:07you won't get to play in 2024?
11:09Peace is a fairy tale.
11:13And are there any that we left off?
