ICYMI: 2022’s game delays and updated release dates

The gaming release schedule updates and adapts to the times

The year has kicked off with a fury, dropping wild weather, a peaking pandemic, and general craziness — but the one constant we can rely on is that things change a lot. Including release dates!

We’ve been keeping tabs on the shifting game release schedule, and though we won’t be able to list EVERYTHING (mostly because yes, things will change as soon as we post them) we *can* collect a few noteworthy updates to release schedules for y’all, to at least keep you informed. There are some big, big games alongside some tiny, exciting indies that we’re tracking, and hope you are too.

At the very least, keep all of these on your radar.
