The Thaumaturge Delayed Due to Fierce Competition

Feb 13, 2024 7:41 AM

The upcoming isometric, story-driven RPG game "The Thaumaturge" has been delayed by the Polish studio Fool's Theory, moving its release date from February 20th to March 4th, 2024. The studio has completed the game's development but decided to push back the release to avoid the crowded February schedule, which includes major titles like Skull & Bones and Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth. "The Thaumaturge" is set in a supernatural version of 20th century Poland and will initially launch on PC, with Xbox and PlayStation releases planned for a later date. This delay allows the game to shine without immediate competition. Additionally, Fool's Theory is also working on a remake of the first The Witcher game.

Why has "The Thaumaturge" release been delayed?

The developers have decided to delay the release of "The Thaumaturge" to avoid the highly competitive release window of February, giving the game a better chance to be enjoyed on its own merit.

"The Thaumaturge" joins the ranks of RPG games that take players on a journey through rich, story-driven gameplay. The game's unique setting, a mystical rendition of historical Poland, offers a fresh experience for RPG fans. Its development by Fool's Theory, a studio that has the first "The Witcher" game's remake under its belt, suggests promising attention to narrative and game mechanics. This anticipated title will finally let players explore its dark, atmospheric world with the added benefit of not having to compete for attention with several big releases originally scheduled for the same time frame.

Hey, it's understandable that The Thaumaturge got pushed back to March 4th. February was looking pretty crowded, what with Skull & Bones and Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth coming out. It's great that the game gets to have its moment in the spotlight without getting lost in the mix. Can't wait to dive into that atmospheric, supernatural Poland setting

That delay for The Thaumaturge sounds like a smart move by Fool's Theory. With big titles like Skull & Bones and Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth crowding the February release window, it's good to see them giving their game some breathing room to stand out. Plus, the prospect of exploring a supernatural 20th century Poland in an isometric RPG is definitely intriguing

The delay for The Thaumaturge makes sense, especially with heavy hitters like Skull & Bones and Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth vying for attention in February. It's a smart move to let the game shine on its own without getting lost in the release frenzy. Looking forward to diving into the supernatural 20th century Poland setting when it launches in March
