In a press release, Abraham Bautista, CEA of Slang, the games publisher along with Konami, said:
While Bautista says the title will be pushed back to November, GameStop is a little more optimistic - changing the release date to October 26th.
In even worse news, Bautista also announced that the highly anticipated (at least hear at Game Rant) pre-order bonus of an official AAA mask has been canceled. After receiving a non-compliant qualification from Consumer Product Safety Comission, Slang has decided to voluntarily replace the masks with a new, as of yet, unknown item.
The most likely reason that this did not pass the CPSC’s qualifications is a fear of small children accidentally suffocating themselves. Hopefully the new bonus will be something amazing - and child friendly.
