Merge Games and Maple Powered Games have announced that their upcoming monster-catching farming sim Monster Harvest has been delayed once again for Switch and other platforms.

Instead of the previously announced July 8th release date, Monster Harvest will now be launching on August 19th for Switch and other platforms. In a press release, Maple Powered Games’ joint owner Kerry Vandenberg explained that the delay would allow them to release Monster Harvest in “the best shape possible”:

“Delays are awful, we are sorry to let down our friends and fans, yet we want to make sure we dispatch Monster Harvest in the best shape possible so that our whole community will enjoy it, we realised how important it is to ensure high-quality support for as many regions as possible right from launch day, even if that means having to push back our release date by just over a month. We are shipping the game by August 19th, with no further days and it’ll be worth it when we show what we have in store for you.”
