Mighty No.9 has been delayed into 2016, developer Comcept has informed the game’s backers ahead of a wider announcement at Gamescom this week.

“Although we understand that everyone was looking forward to playing Mighty No.9 as soon as possible, a release delay is going to be announced for the game at Gamescom 2015, which is currently being held in Cologne, Germany,” reads the message.

The message continues: “We are unable to confirm a final release date at this time, however we will be aiming for a release in Q1 2016.

“Once a solid release date is set, we will announce it immediately to our backers and fans.”

The developer says the delay is the result of “bugs and issues pertaining to the online features that are included in the game. These bugs and issues have a direct affect on enjoyment of the game, so a decision was made to work these issues out before release”.

“Currently, Comcept and their partners are working at full capacity to resolve these issues and fix any remaining bugs.”

By the time Mighty No.9 launches it may be around a year later than it’s originally planned April 2015 date.
