Sports Story Delayed
This article was originally written for TheNintendoVillage.com, a website I founded and ran from 2018 to 2021.
If you were hoping to get a release date for Sports Story in tomorrow’s Indie World Presentation, we’ve got some bad news for you: the game has been delayed indefinitely.
Developer Sidebar Games took to Twitter to announced the delay via an amusing ‘Delay Trailer’, which hints at some of the things players can expect to encounter when the game does finally arrive. Check it out:
In an additional statement, they said the following:
Sports Story update: We must sadly announce a delay. We want to take some more time to work on Sports Story and ensure that everything makes it into the game.
The game has become rather ambitious and we are excited about how it could turn out. But the price is currently being paid as we try to make our plans into reality. We are eager to reveal the results of these past 2 years so please look forward to future updates.
There’s no new release date - or indeed release window - penned in to replace the original ‘summer 2020’ window given when the game was first revealed during March’s Indie World Presentation.
We’ll let you know as soon as we hear more!
