Manticore - Galaxy on Fire for Nintendo Switch was supposed to launch on March 22, but has now been delayed indefinitely.

Manticore – Galaxy on Fire, a sci-fi space shooter from Fishlabs and Deep Silver, was supposed to launch on Nintendo Switch yesterday; unfortunately, the game was pushed back at the last second. The developers took to Twitter to say that the game has been delayed.

They could not share a new date with us at this time, leaving the delay indefinite. Fishlabs does hope to share a new date soon though. That being said, if you pre-ordered the game, that purchase will carry over to when Manticore – Galaxy on Fire actually releases. You can check out the tweet announcing the delay below:

Dear fans & players, we are sorry to inform you that the release of Manticore – Galaxy on Fire on the Nintendo eShop has been delayed. We will update you with more details & a new release date soon. If you pre-ordered the game, please note that your purchase is still valid. — Galaxy on Fire (@galaxyonfire) March 22, 2018



While no exact reason was given for the delay, it is likely that some unforeseen technical issues arose. It is a shame the game wasn’t delayed until the day of release, but hopefully, the developers will use this extra time to polish up the game even more.

Manticore – Galaxy on Fire for Nintendo Switch is currently without a release date, though several Galaxy on Fire titles are currently available on iOS and Android.
