Previously, developer Night School Studio unveiled an official sequel for its narrative adventure OXENFREE for Switch – titled OXENFREE II: Lost Signals. Unfortunately, it looks like fans of the first game will have to wait awhile longer to enjoy this new entry.

The company has delayed the game’s release date to 2023, citing that it wants to use the additional time to make OXENFREE II: Lost Signals “truly special and add more localizations”. Here’s the full message from the development team below:

“We owe it to our amazing community to make OXENFREE II: Lost Signals the best game it can possibly be. Seeing your fan art, reading your excited comments, and connecting with you fuels our ambition to make this our best game yet. To make OXENFREE II truly special and add more localizations, we’re moving our release window to 2023.

Thank you for your patience, support, and understanding. We can’t wait to share the game with you. Stay tuned!”

We’ll report back as we hear more about the game in the future. Stay tuned.
