The sequel to the sleeper hit ARPG Titan Quest is going to be a little while longer in the coming, as Grimlore Games announced that it’s delaying Titan Quest II’s early access to this summer following the results of a recent demo playtest.
While the studio said that a vast majority of testers surveyed rated the game highly, the feedback also highlighted several problem areas such as “combat fluidity,” optimization, and balance that required additional work. Thus, the decision to delay a title that originally targeted a winter 2024/2025 release.
The developers also hinted at trying to avoid some direct competition in the field: “We have previously announced that we will release Titan Quest II as an early access product in winter 2024/2025, and we believe our product is in a great state for that. However, we are closely monitoring the market and realized there was a lot of noise with regards to ARPG in our targeted release window. We therefore decided to move the start of early access to summer. We hope to be able to announce a fixed date very soon.”
