Nine Dots Studio has confirmed that the highly anticipated RPG Outward 2 will not arrive in July 2026 as announced. The early access has been moved to 2027. The decision comes in response to player feedback during testing. Those who planned their vacations to play it will need to reorganize their schedules. The company prioritizes product quality over release dates.

The Nine Dots Studio team will use the delay to adjust the graphics engine and optimize gameplay. According to internal sources, they will focus on improving stability on consoles and mid-range PCs. They will also review enemy artificial intelligence and the resource management system. The patches planned for early access will now be integrated into the base version. The goal is to launch a solid product from day one.

If you already requested days off in July 2026 to get lost in Aurai, take a deep breath. Now you'll have to fake enthusiasm for that family beach trip you've been avoiding. But think positive: when Outward 2 arrives in 2027, at least you won't have to suffer crashes every two hours. That said, make sure not to plan anything for that new release. Just in case.
