Delayed PC games from 2021 - When will they be released.

We've all been there... you've got yourself hyped up for a new upcoming release only to discover that it's been pushed back by a few months, or even years!

While it may be frustrating, the vast majority of gamers seem to always respond in the same way - if it means that they game will be the best that it can be, then we don't mind the wait. This year has already seen some major titles delayed due to reasons beyond the publisher or developers' control - and while some have been minor setbacks and opportunities to make last minute tweaks, others have seen big delays with no end goal currently in sight.

Here, we've rounded up some of the big PC games of 2021 and when we can expect to see them actually being released.

HUMANKIND

Initial launch date: April 2021

New launch date: August 17th, 2021

The initial release date for AMPLITUDE Studios and SEGA's upcoming strategy game HUMANKIND would have seen gamers facing historical events, taking impactful moral decisions and making scientific breakthroughs this month - but you'll have to wait a little longer (but not too long).

Romain de Waubert de Genlis, Chief Creative Office and Studio Head at Amplitude, announced in March 2021: "Players have always been at the heart of Amplitude's philosophy and releasing HUMANKIND in August will allow us the extra time to keep working with the community and polishing the game for an amazing day one experience"

In this upcoming game, you'll combine up to 60 historical cultures as you lead your people from the Ancient to the Modern Age. From humble origins as a Neolithic tribe, transition to the Ancient Era as the Babylonians, become the Classical era Mayans, the Medieval Umayyads, the Early Modern era British, and so on.

Each culture will add its own special gameplay layer, leading to near-endless outcomes. Each battle plays out like a mini turn-based board game on top of the actual world map.

Unstack your armies and command each of your units, including the emblematic units of your culture and their special abilities. Construct siege weapons to besiege and occupy cities. Fight in large battles spanning multiple turns, and don’t hesitate to bring in reinforcements!

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2

Initial launch date: '2021'

New launch date: N/A

It feels like we've seen and heard as much about Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 as we did in the build up to Cyberpunk 2077's release - unfortunately, only one of these games is actual on the market.

Action RPG Bloodlines 2 is the highly-anticipated sequel to 2004 release Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, and sees players take on the role of a human who is killed and revived as a 'thinblood' vampire with abilities that require upgrading.

The game allows players to traverse across 21st-century Seattle as their own customizable vamp, with different dialog and interaction options available based on which backstory the player chooses at the beginning of the game.

Hardsuit Labs and publisher Paradox Interactive first teased the game back in February 2019, with March 2020 as the original intended release date. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the launch date was pushed to an unspecified 2021 release window.

But back in February this year, Paradox released a statement saying that Hardsuit Labs would no longer be working on the development of the game - and that the game has been delayed "indefinitely".

Gotham Knights

Initial launch date: '2021'

New launch date: '2022'

Teasers came thick and fast throughout 2020 that Batman: Arkham Origins developer WB Games Montreal was working on a new Batman video game project - and it took us by surprise when they finally revealed Gotham Knights, a action RPG with a heavy emphasis on co-op gameplay.

In a world where Batman has disappeared, payers take on the role of Nightwing, Robin, Red Hood, and Batgirl - cleaning up the streets of an open-world Gotham in The Caped Crusader's absence. While 2021 was due to be the release year for Warner's new superhero game, the developer announced in March 2021 that the game would now be delayed until next year - stating that it was "giving the game more time to deliver the best possible experience for players."

COVID-19 and WB Montreal's staff having to work from home is believed to be one of the key reasons why production and development hasn't been as complete as first hoped.

GUILTY GEAR -STRIVE-

Initial launch date: April 9th, 2021

New launch date: June 11th, 2021

Arc System Works know a thing or two about making highly-rated arcade fighting games, and GUILTY GEAR -STRIVE- looks to be no exception. The latest entry in the critically acclaimed Guilty Gear fighting game franchise will be coming at you with a high octane soundtrack, ground-breaking hybrid 2D/3D cell-shaded graphics and intense, rewarding gameplay.

Fans of the series and the upcoming release had hoped to be playing the full release as we speak, however the devs decided to delay the launch until June.

In a statement back in March, Arc System Works said: "Since we have received valuable feedback after the recent Open Beta Test, we would like to make the most of this opportunity to provide the best game possible. We need extra time to polish some aspects of the game, such as the online lobbies and server's stability."
