Rocket Panda Games has delayed 2D side-scrolling action game Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds Ultimate from its previously planned February 13 release date to April 17. It will be available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store for $24.99.
Here is a message from producer Masaki Sakari on the delay:
To all of our fans, supporters, and beloved Phantom Breaker community,
The release date for Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds Ultimate, originally scheduled for Thursday, February 13, 2025, has been postponed to Thursday, April 17, 2025.
First and foremost, we want to extend our sincerest apologies to you-everyone eagerly awaiting the game’s release. While the single-player experience is nearly complete, we encountered unforeseen delays with the implementation and testing of the online modes.
Enabling online cross-play multiplayer across all platforms (Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch) is an incredibly challenging feature, but we’re committed to our mission of letting our awesome fans play together at launch.
The delay is entirely my responsibility as the producer. We kindly ask for your patience until the new release date of April 17.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
—Sincerely, Masaki Sakari (Sakari P)
