Inflexion Games has announced thatNightingaleearly access will now be released two days earlier than originally planned.
Last year, the developer revealed that its open-world survival game would be launching in early access onFebruary 22forSteamand theEpic Games. However, in a newpostshared on February 6, it was announced that it’s decided to move the release date up by two days, confirming thatNightingaleearly access will now launch on February 20 instead.
“Mark your calendars because we’re opening the Portal network ahead of schedule,” the developer said in its announcement post. “Nightingalewill now launch into early access on February 20, 2024.
“This will not only allow you all to start your adventures as a Realmwalker two days earlier than originally planned but also give our team a head start in addressing any issues at launch before the busy weekend period.”
Inflexion Games didn’t reveal the exact reason why the game has been moved up, but did say that it will be working on player feedback from the Server Stress Test and will go on to share additional updates in a future ‘Dev Update’ which should arrive “in the next week or so.”
February is a big month fornew releases. Just last week (February 2),Persona 3 Reloadlaunched, followed by the online shooterFoamstarsyesterday (February 6), andHelldivers 2set to arrive later this week on February 9.
Later this month, on February 29, we’ll also see the launch of Square Enix’s highly anticipatedFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Although Inflexion didn’t offer a reason behind the date shift, it’s possible thatNightingalecould have been moved up to offer a bit more time to players between games, similar to how Remedy Entertainmentdelayed the release ofAlan Wake 2to avoid clashing withMarvel’s Spider-Man 2. Again though, this hasn’t been confirmed to be the case, so it might just be a coincidence.
