Nightingale postpones its release by several months. In a video, the CEO of the developer studio talks about the background.
What kind of game is this? Nightingale (PC) is an upcoming survival MMO coming to Steam. Developed by Inflexion Games, the title is set in an open fantasy world decorated in a Victorian style.
Accordingly, the setting promises to mix elements of industrialized England with fairies and monsters. You explore a new world and pursue the goal of building a life there. But in the new world, dangers are lurking everywhere that are trying to kill you.
When is the new release? Nightingale was originally supposed to be in Early Access in 2022, but the release has since been pushed back to the first half of 2023.
On May 17, 2023, Inflexion Games announced that Nightingale’s Early Access release would once again be pushed back to Fall 2023.
