Surprise Change: FragPunk’s Console Launch Delayed!
Guess what, gamers? NetEase just dropped a bombshell! They’ve decided to delay the console release of FragPunk, a super-exciting 5v5 hero shooter that everyone’s been waiting for. This sudden news comes just a day before the game was supposed to hit both Xbox and PlayStation platforms. But don’t worry, PC gamers! The PC version is still on track to launch on March 6, 2025[1][2]. Let’s dive into why this happened and what it means for us.
Why the Delay?
So, why the sudden change of plans? Well, the developers ran into some unexpected tech problems while making sure the game works perfectly on consoles. They had trouble making the game run smoothly and look great, which is super important for a awesome gaming experience[1][3]. Instead of rushing out a game that might not be as good as it should be, NetEase decided to push back the console release to make sure we get a game that’s just as amazing as the PC version[2][4].
What Does This Mean for Us?
This delay affects more than just the launch date. It also means that all pre-orders for the console versions will be canceled, and you’ll get your money back[1][5]. But here’s the good news: NetEase is giving us some cool stuff to make up for it! If you’re a console player, you’ll get to keep all the rewards you’ve earned through engagement from the start of Season 1 until the console version comes out. These rewards include in-game money, cool looks for your characters, and experience points[2][4]. And if you pre-ordered the game, you’ll also get $10 worth of in-game currency when the console versions finally launch[1][5].
What’s Next?
NetEase hasn’t given us a new release date for the console versions yet, but they’re working hard with both Xbox and PlayStation teams to make sure the game is perfect when it does come out. And when it does, the original pre-order bundle will be available for a limited time[1][4].
Why the Delay is a Good Thing
Even though the delay might be disappointing, it shows that NetEase really cares about making a great game. By taking the time to make sure FragPunk is optimized and runs smoothly on consoles, they’re making sure it lives up to the high standards of the PC version. While we wait for the console versions, the PC launch will give us a chance to see how amazing this game can be and how its unique card mechanics work[5].
