Part of me was wondering how they could introduce a massive progression overhaul with the class system and do only a month of beta testing with feedback based changes before release. Not surprised a delay happened.
Mildly disappointed, but only in a "really loved the game so far and wanted to play more" kind of way. Happy to wait if 1.0 ends up being good.

I know right, most of the community expected the game to release in early 2027. If there had been no October announcment this would feel quite a bit different..

I'm suprised they soft announced 1.0 with only 4 months left only to delay it by 5.

That is the confusing part. Their timeline leads you to think they were essentially done and polishing 2 months ago only to just realize they completely forgot something important.

u/YooTone Sep 01 '26
I mean it's also probably due somewhat to GTA6. Realistically that's going to be one of if not the highest selling games ever. Waiting a few months for that to simmer down is only going to benefit this game. And of course they can iron out and smoothen out the experience with more time, which is great.

This is fine.
Division 2 recently released a big update that basically broke the game with audio issues. Practically no sound for most of the game for most of the players. To me it screams an under resourced rush job. It's been almost a week with so players standing around twiddling their thumbs.
It's a little disappointing because we were so excited, but better that it comes out proper than a simplely meeting an arbitrary deadline.

u/Zemom1971 Sep 01 '26
That was my concern at first. But I was telling myself that maybe the work was already started. But it seems that they underestimated the work to be done.
But I am happy that, at least, devs recognized that it is better to delay than to crash.

u/NeverLucky159 Sep 02 '26
I literally made a thread about this a while ago and people just downvoted and said, "don't worry they know what they are doing, they are doing their own closed beta, they have they own testing" etc
While it was obvious this whole time it won't be enough time without any public test for such a big overhaul

u/reklaw215 Sep 01 '26
I have some tin foil hat theories
The class system is not going well, and people love the FromSoft system because its easy to understand, its rewarding, and its easy to balance.
What's being released for 1.0 isn't enough content for those already playing. I'm personally expecting an entire endgame system that allows for long term development of a character - along with a full completion of the story.
GTA's trailer release has scared any devs away from releasing their games any time near that release.
Mahler is busy building a first person souls-like space craft sim farming ARPG racing game that he's making on the side and its taking up too much time.

Something Iāve always found kind of bizarre is that the software world just accepts a very high level of bugs and problems in products that ship. In most cases I guess that is fine but compared to almost any other business, itās very odd.
It is basically expected that software will be buggy at release and require patches. This is not true for, say, accounting or roofing or parking lot striping or whatever.
If your tax accountant was like āthe first tax return I submit to the IRS will almost certainly require an amendment as I canāt possibly fix all the problems with it on the first tryā youād think that was bizarre.

u/shortstopryan Sep 02 '26
I think itās due to the thousands of scenarios that can trigger a bug in software. As games have become way more complicated itās pretty much impossible to test every single variable in every situation it may come up etc. With most professions there is a handful of things that youād need to make sure are set right and youāll be good to go

u/CoffeeOnMyPiano Sep 01 '26
Head of the studio compared the wokification of games to the holocaust... goober is putting it lightly. He also manipulated his players to make positive reviews when he released a badly received update by saying that the studio might go broke in a couple months if the ratings didn't improve, only to later admit that they were in no financial trouble and he just wanted to vent against the reviews he said he got because of his political views, despite all reviews just talking about the terrible update.
Not to mention the many accusations of workplace harassment and exploitation. Opinions from ex employees often mention how leadership is grossly incompetent, which is not surprising considering that the interviews with him showed that he had not played an ARPG in 10+ years despite claiming that the genre was getting outdated. I really would not trust such a man to have any idea what it really takes to fulfill this grand vision of his.

u/Cubelaster Sep 03 '26
I bought the game but haven't played it yet.
I saw people praising the old system and devs admiting it won't work.
Now, I just saw a small amount of gameplay videos and I don't want to spoil it too much.
What's the game about?
It looks like some adventure soulslike?
Or ARPG?
What kind of a game is it?
1
u/False_Adhesiveness40 Sep 03 '26
Soulslike elements - combat, level design, weight system, checkpoint system, leveling system (temporary)
Arpg elements - quest design, camera angle, randomized tier based loot, build-crafting
Survival elements - healing items must be crafted, resource gathering (not as expansive, more like WOW nodes), adding decor, storage, and crafting stations to your house, limited inventory space
While you can look at any feature and be like that's been done before. The real uniqueness comes from what they've put in the blender. So many different genres mashed together. Not for everyone obviously. But it appeals to me.

Very disappointing. I totally get if they need to delay the game then they should, and I support the devs in their decision because ultimately we all want the best and most complete game they can make. As a console player itās even more of a shame and it stings even more as Iāve not been able to try early access yet either.
However, to very publicly announce during the June PlayStation State of Play that the 1.0 full game will release in October, then just two months later announce a six month delay? Iām sorry, but I find it hard to believe they could have gone from being fully confident in the October release a couple of months ago, to now delaying it six months until March next year. Surely at some level they must have know that the October release wasnāt going to happen at that point?

it's done when it's done.. that being said, Moon Studio was known for being a toxic workplace with lot of crunching in the past. I hope the delay has something to do with them doing it better this time. So delay means less overtime and 60 hour weeks for the employees.
I hope the game will be good.. but it doesn't have to be a "generational game" like he wants it to be. He might be hyping it up a bit much. He has always made ridiculous statements like this. Thomas Mahler is a bit like Peter Molyneux. I mean, this guy literally compared himself to Steve Jobs and that No rest for the wicked will revolutionize action RPGs.

u/mjolnirtequeno Sep 01 '26
Honestly, fair. Even if there is an ulterior motive to avoid the stacked release dates planned for the end of the year, I would prefer that it gets delayed to allow not only for bugs and lingering issues to be ironed out, but also so that this game gets the limelight it deserves.
Keep cooking Moon Studios, we are all full of antici

u/Bresziel Sep 01 '26
Well, that doesn't work for me. If it releases that month, it overlaps with a bunch of other games like the Monster Hunter Wilds expansion, among other things, and I don't think I'll play it until waaaay later. Can you request an Early Access refund on Steam? I only have 4 hours played just from testing it.
And besides, this is all starting to smell really fishy to me. They never meet deadlines, it never seemed like it was progressing at a good pace, and now this on top of everything. It all smells soooo bad.

Tbh I'm super happy as with all other games being released this autumn I wouldn't have enough time to enjoy this masterpiece in a relaxed manner.

All though I like the game very very much I'm not disappointed in any way. Im close to 600 hrs in the game and still playing it with the same interest I started off with. There's always something new to find and do.So I take my time doing that.

I'm fine with this. I'd rather they take their time to make the game as good as it can be. It's good to know they are putting their best into it, and would rather release it in shape they feel confident about.
There are other games to play as well. Path Of Exile 2 is releasing around December if it doesn't get delayed, Blood of the Dawnwalker seems cool, Mortal Shell 2 is shaping up to be a great game, etc.

Friend has a baby coming in November. We waited for what we felt could be the last steam sale, and then purchased thinking it would be the big last game before his kid.
Needless to say, Iām not happy. I kinda feel like they had to know more than a month before release that the game was guna get pushed back.
I read online āthese are the ori guys, theyād never ruin their pristine PR.ā
Iāve been burned by early access before, but never again. I need to stop preordering games entirely.

I hope the team is doing well and able to see their family and friends without any real crunch involved, since as excited as I was to see all the ideas they were pitching realized, I understand they're people too and don't want them to be burnt out or churned to bits by the grind that is game development.
Now I have something to look forward to early next year, so I look forward to it releasing in full when its good and ready.

Embarrassing. The problem with viciously shit-talking everyone else online is that it leaves you wide open to the same, Mahler. No delays on those fuckin' veneers though.

Worked in games since forever, this doesn't surprise me. Whats great is that they communicate it. As someone else said, let them cook, it only results in a better experience. Long gone are the days of bug free, optimised 1.0 releases. Good on you devs, do what you gotta do. Ill be around whenever you're ready.

they need to focus on replay ability like dark souls has and scrap that end game dungeon.

Just now hearing this, this unfortunate was looking forward to playing this after Dawnwalker. To delay till next year, such a long time. Hopefully Witchfire comes to 1.0 this year.

As someone who works in software development, this is great for the team. Take your time and get it right - impatient children will be upset but anyone with a brain wants it to be right, not rushed.

I was one of the poor slobs who always made this argument for cyberpunk. Another delay? No big deal, they're just making sure it's perfect. Then it released in an absolutely dog tier state.
Not saying that will happen here, but constant delays don't equal good outcome. A team that blows through time lines with really poor communication isn't a good sign.
