No specific reason was given for the delay but the announcement did mention that a new date was needed “due in part to things out of our control” so it is possible that the coronavirus pandemic has impacted the game’s development.

Easy Day Studios also released some new gameplay footage from a school level to make up for the delay announcement and the studio plans to reveal “more unreleased content and features” in the lead up to the game’s new launch date.
