The “Mighty No. 9” backer exclusive demo has been officially released recently. The much awaited spiritual sequel to the “Megaman” series, “Mighty No. 9,” has been on the receiving end of negative criticisms lately as its demo has been delayed numerous times by the developer. However, new reports claim that the final game will get another release date.

The new release date for “Mighty No. 9” is confirmed to be on Feb. 9 in North America. The game will come to other regions exactly three days after the North American release. The update was revealed on the Kickstarter page of the game developer, Comcept. The delay was caused by a few kinks in the game’s multiplayer mode, which Comcept and its partners needed to fix first.

“Comcept and our partners at Inti Creates and Deep Silver have been hard at work clearing up any remaining issues with the online modes included in Mighty No. 9. As a result of their progress, we are now able to officially announce our release date,” the developer said.

The announcement of the game’s delay was first seen at a NeoGaf post by one of Comcept’s developers. It said that the game will be pushed through the first quarter of 2016, and the developer looks to deliver the promise with the new release date.

Although the complete game was delayed, the exclusive demo for Kickstarter backers has gone live over the weekend. Comcept was apologetic for the delay in the release of the demo, but they reiterated that the delay was necessary for it to run smoothly.

The game will be out in February with physical copies for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Wii U. It will also have a digital version for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. A digital version is in the works for the PlayStation Vita and Nintendo 3DS as well.
