Playwing has delayed the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 versions of free-to-play multiplayer dragon battle game Century: Age of Ashes from its previously planned July 19 release date to a general summer release window.
Century: Age of Ashes first launched for PC via Steam on December 2, 2021, followed by Xbox Series on March 10, 2022 and Xbox One on July 12.
Here is the full message from Playwing on the delay:
First, please accept our humble apologies. Some of you might be wondering why this delay is happening so close to release; please see below for further details.
Pushing back a release is never pleasant, even more so when we know there is a huge number of players who are wanting to play on PlayStation platforms, and this will most likely be a turning point in the life of Century: Age of Ashes. Passing certification on PlayStation—what we call “going gold”—right off the back of the Xbox One release and the launch of the debut season, “A Shadow Over Skeld” is a tough challenge. Therefore, we are going to need a little more time to ensure we meet the quality standards to ship on these two platforms.
We know not sharing an exact release date may raise some concerns, but rest assured, bringing Century: Age of Ashes is our next big release. Our team are currently hard at work debugging the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 versions, while also polishing up the recently released Xbox One version. Season 1 is also being worked on for its balancing issues and prepping for future content. This is now the last stretch before Century takes flight on PlayStation, which means it’s just a matter of days before we share a release date with you all.
Thank you for your continued patience and support of Century: Age of Ashes.
—The Century Team
