Surprise News: FragPunk’s Console Launch Delayed!
Hey there, gamers! You won’t believe what happened. NetEase just announced that they’re pushing back the console release of FragPunk, the super-exciting 5v5 hero shooter we’ve all been waiting for. This was supposed to happen tomorrow on both Xbox and PlayStation, but now we’ll have to wait a bit longer.
But don’t worry, PC players! Your version is still on track to launch on March 6, 2025[1][2]. It’s just the console versions that are taking a little detour.
Why the Delay?
So, why the sudden change of plans? Well, the developers hit some unexpected roadblocks during the final checks to make sure the game runs smoothly on consoles. They’re working hard to fix these issues, especially with optimization and making the game work well on these new platforms[1][3]. NetEase wants to make sure you get the best gaming experience possible, so they decided it’s better to delay the launch than rush it and have problems[2][4].
What Does This Mean for You?
This delay means that the console versions won’t be coming out as planned, and any pre-orders you made will be canceled. But don’t stress, the platform holders will give you your money back[1][5]. Plus, NetEase is giving console players a nice little bonus. You’ll get to keep all the rewards you earn from playing from the start of Season 1 until the console version finally launches. That includes in-game money, cool cosmetic items, and experience points[2][4]!
And here’s another sweet deal: if you pre-ordered the game, you’ll get $10 worth of in-game currency when the console versions do come out[1][5].
What’s Next?
NetEase is working closely with Xbox and PlayStation to make sure the game is perfect when it finally launches on consoles. They haven’t said exactly when that will be yet, but they promise it’ll be worth the wait. And guess what? They’ll bring back the original pre-order bundle for a limited time once the console versions are out[1][4].
Looking Ahead
Even though the console delay might be a bummer, it shows that NetEase really cares about making FragPunk the best it can be. They want to make sure the console versions are just as awesome as the PC version. While we wait for the consoles, the PC launch will give us a great chance to see what this game is all about and how its unique card mechanics work[5].
So, hang in there, gamers! The wait will be worth it. FragPunk is coming to consoles soon, and it’s going to be amazing!
