It looks like Doki Doki Literature Club Plus fans will have to wait a little longer to obtain the game physically in their hands.

Serenity Forge has announced that the physical edition release of the game has been delayed due to “unforeseen delays with manufacturing and shipping as a result of COVID-19”. As such, the physical edition will now be launching on 21 September 2021 instead.

Here’s the full announcement from Serenity Forge below:

“Unfortunately, we have encountered unforeseen delays with manufacturing and shipping as a result of COVID-19, requiring us to delay the physical release of Doki Doki Literature Club Plus! to September 21. We understand your excitement and are working around the clock with our manufacturers across the globe to bring you the highest quality and most meaningful product possible. We appreciate your dedication, patience, and continued support.

Thank you.”

We’ll report back as we hear more in the future. If you wish to pre-order a copy of the physical edition, you can still do so over here (ships worldwide, while stocks last).
