Publisher Aksys Games and developer RareBreed Makes Games will be delaying its upcoming 2D pixel-based fighting game Blazing Strike, which still looks really gorgeous and fluid in motion.

Don’t believe me? Check out the trailer below:

Blazing Strike will be delayed to Spring 2023, quite a few months away from its planned Fall 2022 release window. The game is still slated for the PC (Steam), Nintendo Switch, PS4, and PS5. The developers said they needed more time to polish the title; here’s the official quote about that:

“It’s gut-wrenching to admit but Blazing Strike‘s release date has been moved back to spring 2023. However this delay will help polish the game to ensure the best game experience possible (maybe with cross-play), so I really hope you guys stick around a little longer.”
