Hellpoint Release Date Postponed
Speaking in a press release, Cradle Games confirmed that it’s going to use the additional time to implement feedback that the studio has gathered from players who tried out The Thespian Feast, which is the game’s first chapter.
Cradle Games’ creative director, Matt Boudreau, commented:
In light of the unprecedented events facing the world, we have been forced to postpone the launch of the game. We plan to use the additional development time not just for polishing, but also to address the feedback we’ve gathered and make Hellpoint an even better gaming experience for everybody! The feedback of the community had such enthusiasm and energy.
Here’s the full blurb on Hellpoint:
