  Don't Nod Entertainment, the studio behind Life is Strange, revealed its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/the-game-awards-2022\/2022\/12\/08\/dontnod-entertainment-reveals-actionrpg-banishers-ghosts-of-a-new\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">action RPG, Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, during The Game Awards last year<\/a>. Earlier this year, in June, Don't Nod announced Banishers will be released in November but today, the studio delayed its release to next year. More specifically, Banishers will now hit PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X\/S, and PC on February 13, 2024.&nbsp;\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
As for why, Don\u2019t Nod CEO Oskar Guilbert says the team is aiming for a \u201cless saturated period\u201d of video game releases, alluding to the swath of games releasing in the coming weeks, including next month\u2019s Assassin\u2019s Creed Mirage, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man 2, Alan Wake 2, and more (and that\u2019s just some of what\u2019s releasing in October, which then leads right into November).\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have decided to postpone the release of this new franchise by three months, as the market is experiencing an intense release cycle for AAA titles on PC and consoles at the end of the year,\u201d Guilbert writes in a press release. \u201cWe are convinced that a commercial release of Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden during a less saturated period will give it the attention it deserves.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Around the same time, Don\u2019t Nod released a separate statement on Twitter:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWith so many unforgettable games in 2023, it\u2019s important that each of them shines brightly. Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is no exception. Though finished and set for release, we want Red and Antea\u2019s story to get the spotlight it deserves. As a result, with our publisher Focus Entertainment, we took the decision to postpone its release on PC & Consoles to February 13, 2024. A perfect date for an epic love story. Thank you for your patience.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Nod follows a growing trend of smaller developers announcing delays in light of major upcoming releases. Summefall Studios delayed Stray Gods: The Role-Playing Musical to get its release away from Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, and in August, Ubisoft pushed Assassin\u2019s Creed Mirage\u2019s release date up a week. While Ubisoft didn\u2019t say why, a look at October\u2019s release date calendar makes the message clear (although admittedly, that\u2019s speculation on our end). Alone in the Dark was pushed to January to avoid Spider-Man 2\u2019s blast radius. And last month, Remedy Entertainment delayed Alan Wake 2 by 10 days to give players \u201cspace for everyone to enjoy their favorite games.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden hits PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X\/S, and PC on February 13, 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n
