Instead of a May 22 release date, we’ve now got a more general release window of May 22 through June 5. The Evercade itself is finished and ready to go. The primary concern the company has is with actually getting it to you — similar to concerns Naughty Dog had over The Last of Us Part 2.
Evercade is basing the release window on how long it anticipates couriers will take to deliver the handheld. Depending on location and circumstances, some people might get theirs on time, and some may end up getting them later. Either way, Evercade said it doesn’t want to impose release embargoes and expressed gratitude for both understanding the situation and continuing to stick by them.
In brighter news, Evercade also announced a new cartridge is being unveiled in May and an additional new cartridge announcement is coming for June, for a total of at least 14 cartridges during the Evercade’s launch year. Since Evercade plans on featuring indie games on its cartridges, alongside retro classics, that’s a lot of variety in store.
