Uh oh, here we go.
Those of you who have looked at a release schedule lately may have noticed that the latter half of 2018 is absolutely packed. Seriously, it's fit to burst with games -- September and October are especially stuffed.
And with busy schedules come delays. The first casualty of this war for your hard earned dosh is Code Vein -- Bandai Namco's action role-playing title that was originally set to launch on the 28th September.
The publisher has officially announced the delay, stating that Code Vein will now launch in 2019. "Throughout its pre-release promotion campaign, Code Vein has consistently garnered positive reactions from both media and consumers alike. With this knowledge in-hand, Bandai Namco Inc. has made the decision to dedicate additional time to further develop Code Vein; ensuring the final product delivers on the expectations set amongst media and fans," reads the press release.
If we're honest, it's probably a good idea to push Code Vein into next year. We doubt that it'll be a mega hit anyway, but launching in late September is practically suicide at this point -- it was bound to get buried and largely forgotten.
Can you see more games getting delayed into next year as we march further into 2018? Place your bets in the comments section below.

The first of many?
Shocker!
Instead of delaying till next year how about moving it up to now July through the first half of September. Because i dont really any worth while games in that time fame
Worth checking out the news article for when Code Vein got a release date. Comments section says it all!

@JoeBlogs
Eeeeh Just saying more games need to be released between June and the first half of September. Not all bunched in between the later half of September - November
@ShadowWarrior It's probably just not ready, so that's not an option.
Anyways i think Shadow of the tomb raider will be next to be delayed watch it be til Feb 22..... -.-
I expect 60 fps on base ps4 then.
I have been increasingly interested in this game, so Iām a little disappointed, but also a little relieved since it was probably going to get buried in that Sept/Oct window. It gives me more time to spend with the other games coming out at the end of the year.
I consider myself a bit of a gamer but I honestly couldn't tell you what's coming out later this year! This and Tomb Raider I got from this article and comment section. A Battlefield game and a COD I assume?
Nothing really is on my radar as exciting. Kind of prefer it like this as no doubt I'll get one or two surprises!
Edit: Red Dead Redemption 2! Remembered that one!
@kyleforrester87 Spyro, Spider-Man, Dragon Quest, Yakuza Kiwami 2, Ass Creed Odyssey... To name a few more.
Good maybe I'll buy it now!
@ShogunRok The first of many?
Wasn't KH3 "2018" before getting a January 29th release date?
https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2018/06/e3_2018_kingdom_hearts_iii_finally_has_a_release_date_but_it_isnt_in_2018
@rjejr Yeah but it just never had a confirmed date.
@ShogunRok Yeah ok, I can live with that.
Any score predictions for later, your 3-2 was off a wee tad bit. š I'm going 2-nil, but not in your guys favor, sorry.
@rjejr 2-0 Croatia, sadly.
Best for this game to be honest, was going to get lost. Seems to be v little hype for this
Or.
Hear me out on this.
There's these two months called November and December.
All your competition down there is Pokemon, Smash (So not even on the same platform) and Darksiders alongside Just Cause 4.
The year doesnt stop at October.
But no, everyone had to go in September.
Good call, launching it on fall is suicide.
Good call. However, this does mean that the lower price will come later on a personal note.
No surprise but to be honest next year looks just as busy, would;ve been better to release in the summer holidays..
Smart move although I still haven't seen any footage that's been of interest for this one.
Itās for the best, too many games are coming already in September.
@ShogunRok England will win, cheer up mate!
I'm hoping too many other games don't get delayed. There's a lot of titles I'm looking forward to playing in Fall/Winter of this year.
@ShogunRok Well we were close on the 2-0 score, admittedly that's not how I thought we'd get there after the first 5 minutes.
I'm not surprised, gives the game more of a chance to gain better sales and have less glitches.
