Publisher Paradox Interactive and developer Paradox Tectonic have delayed Life by You from its previously planned Early Access release date of June 4 to an unannounced date. This is the game’s third delay. It will be available for PC via Steam and Epic Games Store when it launches.
“We believe that additional development time is needed,” said Paradox Interactive deputy CEO Mattias Lilja in a statement. “While we would have preferred to commit to a new release window, we believe it is more prudent to hold off while we plan ahead, rather than committing to a new date that we cannot be certain to meet.”
Here is the full message from Lilja on the delay:
Hello everyone,
After much consideration, we regret to announce that we have decided to retract Life by You‘s Early Access release date, previously set for June 4th. This was not an easy decision, especially since we understand the anticipation and excitement that many players have for the game. However, we believe that additional development time is needed.
While we would have preferred to commit to a new release window, we believe it is more prudent to hold off while we plan ahead, rather than committing to a new date that we cannot be certain to meet.
We will provide more information as soon as possible, until then we want to sincerely thank you for your continued support and patience.
Mattias Lilja, Deputy CEO of Paradox Interactive
