PS5 Exclusive Dino Shooter Code Violet Has Gone Gold, Delayed to January 2026 1

In the absence of Dino Crisis, TeamKill Media's upcoming shooter Code Violet looks set to fill the void.

The PS5 exclusive sci-fi action horror title has been on the radar all year, and was expected to launch back in November. Unfortunately, it hasn't hit its launch plans, and has been delayed to 10th January 2026.

However, with this delay comes some good news: Code Violet has now gone gold, meaning the game is effectively finished, and the remaining time will presumably be spent squashing last-minute bugs.

All this news comes via a lengthy statement posted on the studio's social accounts:

In a nutshell, the team ran into some issues relating to "unlocking entitlements" for the game's deluxe and pre-order editions, and to circumvent all that, it's decided to simply release one standard edition of the game.

This version will include "all the bonus outfits, items, and perks", so those who wanted the deluxe editions won't be missing out. That said, anybody who pre-ordered the deluxe edition will be receiving full refunds.

TeamKill Media is working to get Code Violet back up on the PS Store for pre-ordering.

It sounds like we'll be seeing more gameplay and trailers of the game in the lead-up to its launch in the new year.

It's been a bit of a bumpy road to release, then, but despite the delay, this seems like a net positive outcome. Hopefully the game can deliver a good experience that's worth the wait.
