Read details on the game below:
Mysteriously transported from New York City, Frey Holland finds herself trapped in the breathtaking land of Athia. A magical, sentient bracelet is inexplicably wrapped around her arm, and Frey discovers the ability to cast powerful spells and use magic to traverse the sprawling landscapes of Athia. Frey nicknames her new golden companion “Cuff” and sets off to find a way home.
Frey soon learns this beautiful land once flourished under the reign of benevolent matriarchs, called Tantas, until a devastating blight relentlessly corrupted everything it touched. The Break transformed animals into beasts, men into monsters, and rich landscapes into four dangerous realms. At the center of their shattered domains, the Tantas now rule as maddened and evil sorceresses.
Unaffected by the Break and desperate for answers, Frey reluctantly agrees to help the last remaining citizens of Athia who see her as their only hope. Frey’s journey through this strange and treacherous land will take her deep into the heart of corruption where she must battle monstrous creatures, confront the powerful Tantas, and uncover secrets that awaken something much more from within.

Damn , how sony will compete with others with this delayed game.
Honestly i know its sacasm but i still dont see the point in this post. the game is multiplat so how it would effect Sony in anyway shape or form is beyond me.
I wanted you to reply to me to downvote you with my powers
Not a big delay and still interested on the game, so better it come out as great as possible.
Probably makes it less likely that I'll be picking it up for more than $30. Usually in January I have too big of a back haul of games to play after buying Black Friday sales and getting Christmas games.
This game looks really bad!
This game just isn't clicking. They are probably trying to figure out some kind of an overhaul to rescue it. But it is DOOMED.
That's good. I have enough enough games to catch up on.
looking forword to playing this i got my ps5 a year ago and after completed ratchet and clank i was left with nothing to play everything else could play on my ps4
Just polish the hell out of the game and expect massive sales as always square enix
Shame but other SquEnix offerings before then.
Again? Almost a year after it was originally supposed to launch.
