Square Enix Delays Both Final Fantasy VII Remake and Marvel’s Avengers

Today has been crazy in terms of gaming news both good and bad. The good well, if you are a Smash fan we are getting a 35 minute long presentation to be held on Thursday (only downside, is that it’s very early morning). The bad news for today, if you look delays as a bad thing, Square Enix has announced that BOTH highly anticipated games being the Final Fantasy VII remake and Marvel’s Avengers game has indeed been delayed that Square announced from earlier this morning.

The Final Fantasy VII Remake didn’t get delayed by much though. Only month of it’s original release. For the Final Fantasy VII Remake, producer Yoshinori Kitase did give a reason for the games delay, being wanting to give it more of an “extra polish.”

As it was going to be an April release game. The somewhat concerning one to look at of these two delayed games is Marvel’s Avengers. Marvel’s Avengers was bumped from May, to now being a September release instead. The heads of Crystal Dynamics has also said something similar for the game’s delay.

“To that end, we will spend this additional development time focusing on fine tuning and polishing the game to the high standards our fans expect and deserve.”

Astral Chain Spirits in Smash Bros. Ultimate 😢

Another Smash Bros. character and game representative has been crushed! This actually breaks my heart but at the same time its understandable, because Astral Chain is more of a new IP, and Sakurai usually don’t bring in certain characters when their game hasn’t been proven yet.

Though, at the same time, it shouldn’t have took them this long to have been spirits. We should have gotten these before or after when the game launched long time ago!

(I.E. look at Inklings for Smash 4 and Olimar for Melee).
