Arkane and Bethesda have announced that Deathloop has been delayed once again, pushing the time-consuming immersive sim back to September 2021. In a video and a written statement, game director Dinga Bakaba and art director Sebastien Mitton explained that Arkane has made the decision to delay Deathoop from May 21 to September 14, 2021.

“We are committed to ensuring the quality and preservation of the team’s ambitions for Deathloop while ensuring the health and safety of everyone at Arkane,” the statement said. “We use this extra time to achieve our goal: to create a fun, stylish and thought-provoking gaming experience.”

Originally, Deathloop was intended to drop in the launch window of PlayStation 5, and it was expected around November / December 2020. Arkane delayed the project until the second quarter of 2021, and was decided on 21 May. But now we have to wait a few more months, with September 14 as the new date.

When it comes to the game release calendar, this Deathloop moves away from the upcoming Resident Evil Village and Mass Effect Legendary edition, so there is now more room in your calendar for them.
