Turn-based SRPG Lost Eidolons has a release date! The stylish and seemingly quite deep title that was planned to come to both PC, and Xbox Series X|S has narrowed its release window for one of the platforms and pushed the other, with the game coming to PC, via Steam on October 13, 2022, meanwhile the Xbox Series X|S versions of the game have slid into 2023. Other versions of the game, presumably for PlayStation platforms, won’t launch until sometime after that, though developer Ocean Drive Studio has yet to announce these particular SKUs.
The team also used the release date reveal to announce to Xbox One owners that the planned version for their console is no longer, with it being canceled, the reason being that Ocean Drive Studio wanted to focus on the newer platform to ensure that players were experiencing “the best experience” as they played. Ocean Drive Studio’s CEO Jae Kim said, regarding the release date reveal, “As fans of tactical RPGs ourselves, we would like nothing better than to have Lost Eidolons join the ranks of great games of the genre when we launch. We’ve had to delay the launch a couple of times based on our players’ feedback after conducting two betas and two Steam demos. It meant we had to spend more time and money to make changes, but looking at the game now, I have no doubt the delays were worth it. I hope all of our beta and demo players will be proud of the final product they helped shape, and count Lost Eidolons as a great tactical RPG.”
