Fall 2020 is the New Drop Date for Empire of Sin
Fans hoping to get their hands on the XCOM-style prohibition-era turn-based tactics game, Empire of Sin, are going to have to wait a little longer. The game, first announced at E2 2019 has had its release date pushed back.
News of the delay comes from the game’s official Twitter account which tweeted out an image with an official statement from Brenda Romero, the game’s director.
“As any good bootlegger knows, good liquor can’t be rushed and the same goes for game development. This is why we have decided to move the release of Empire of Sin to Fall 2020,” said Romero.
“We appreciate all your support so far, and trust that you understand why choosing quality over speed is important. After all, everyone knows you gotta stay sharp to make it in Chicago.”
Empire of Sin was originally expected to release in Spring 2020. Romero Games, the company fronted by Brenda Romero and her husband John Romero, has pushed the release to autumn to have “additional time to polish” according to a press release. The game will launch for PC, Mac, Nintendo Switch, PS4, and Xbox One.
The game’s story is set in 1920s Chicago, during America’s prohibition of alcohol. Players will set out to conquer Chicago’s underworld by brewing moonshine, running brothels, and fighting anyone who tries to get in the way.
Previews of Empire of Sin have been overwhelmingly positive. A delay in the game’s release isn’t ideal, but hopefully the extra polish is worth the wait.
