That promising looking Fairy Tail role-playing game has been delayed, Koei Tecmo has announced. The turn based title was originally due to launch next month, on the 25th June, but it's now been pushed back to the 30th and 31st July in Europe and North America respectively.
As you'd expect at this point, the ongoing coronavirus situation is to blame for the delay. A statement says that the development team needs just a little more time to "put the final touches" on the game -- their schedules no doubt impacted by COVID-19.
It's worth noting that this isn't the first delay to hit Fairy Tail. Originally, the title was meant to release back in March before it was moved to the summer. At least this new delay isn't nearly as long.

OK well it's not too long really and like you said it's to be expected with the current situation
gives me more time with my backlog
It's only a month extra wait so I'll have time to finish off some other games but cant wait to pick this one up though
I love the look of this one but getting delayed to July?shame,I'll be busy with GOT.
First landed a few days after TLOU2 and now after Ghost of Tsushima.
I'll circle back in August I guess.
Delayed again. Was meant to be out in February. Is the game in trouble of being cancelled and using corona virus as an excuse 🤔
@ArmyofOne Anime is amazing, though some have claimed it to be a copycat of One Piece.
Regarding the game, it takes place during the anime, is just an adaptation of some of the anime/manga arcs.
(I do believe there will still be some new content and levels/enemies though)
@ArmyofOne No problem! If you wish to watch Fairy Tail, both FUNimation (dub) and CrunchyRoll (sub) should have the entire series.
The anime and original manga ended just recently, though I hear an anime adaption of the sequel manga is in the works.
@KidBoruto @ArmyofOne and hopefully the UK DVD releases will star up again soon now MangaUK have started to release the old collections again
@FullbringIchigo Fingers crossed for you UK'ers!
@KidBoruto yeah i checked and they have up to collection 5 (episode 120) up for pre-order, that's further than they originally got with the single releases before they lost the license
it's complicated but MangaUK had the license but lost it when they went independent from Starz media who funimation had a licence deal with so funimation then partnered with Anime LTD to carry on releasing Fairy Tail in the UK but then after some releases Anime LTD decides to drop it then funimation buys MangaUK in order to have their own UK distribution arm but has to wait for Anime LTD's license to run out for the episodes they released
