Digixart, the studio behind the acclaimed Road 96, and publisher Deep Silver have announced that their upcoming adventure game Tides of Tomorrow is being delayed from its original February launch window. The new release date is April 22nd, giving the team a couple extra months to polish the experience, according to reporting by Niche Gamer.
Tides of Tomorrow is set on an oceanic planet, continuing Digixart's pattern of building games around ambitious, atmospheric worlds. Road 96 built a strong reputation for the studio thanks to its procedurally influenced narrative design, so there's genuine anticipation around where they take this new project.
The delay isn't all bad news. A demo is currently available for players who want to get their hands on the game ahead of launch - always a smart move for an adventure title trying to win over an audience that might not be familiar with the developer's work. Sampling the vibe before committing is exactly the kind of thing fans of the genre appreciate.
When Tides of Tomorrow does launch on April 22nd, it will be available on Windows PC, with no additional platforms confirmed in the announcement. Players interested in checking out the demo can do so now while the wait for the full release continues.
A two-month delay is relatively minor in the grand scheme of game development, and for a studio like Digixart - which earned its stripes with a carefully crafted narrative experience - the extra runway is likely a smart call rather than a red flag. April 22nd is now the date to mark on the calendar.
