If you’ve been looking forward to Fractured Veil’s early access launch next week, then you’ll be disappointed to know that it’s been postponed again, this time to early next year.

The Hawaiian post-apocalyptic zombie MMO was originally scheduled to launch last year but was delayed to last month and then to October 18th as Paddle Creek worked to upgrade it to Unreal Engine 5. It’s now been moved to January 18th while the developers work on getting the server infrastructure ready for launch.

“Our top priority is making sure that all of our current players – testers, Kickstarter backers, and folks who pledged on our store – continue playing without any major disruption caused by our server infrastructure not being ready for a full-scale Early Access Launch and that new players can have a great experience that is worth their time,” Paddle Creek explained.

“We want everyone to build their story in the game and to smoothly join a queue with their friends to find a server together while providing a realistic waiting time in those moments of extremely high server activity,” the studio added. “The quality of the game is not where we want it to be and more time will give us room to continually improve all aspects of the game.”

In the meantime, backers and current testers will continue to have access to Fractured Veil until its early access launch. The studio also promises to release an updated roadmap soon.
