We have made the decision to postpone the launch date of Deathloop to Q2 2021. It is our will to make sure that Deathloop is a true Arkane style game and that takes you to never before seen places in a new world with a unique style.
At the same time, everyone's health and safety at Arkane Lyon is our top priority. As we adapt to work from home, we've found that delivering this exciting new experience, at the quality level appropriate for an Arkane work and a true next-gen experience, will take longer than expected.
This additional time will allow our team to unearth the world of Deathloop with the same style and level of fun you expect from us. Although it is clear that this is the right choice for the title, we are aware and we share the disappointment of the fans: we apologize if we will keep you waiting even longer.
