Last-Minute Surprise: FragPunk’s Console Delay
Hey there, gamers! You won’t believe what happened just a day before the big launch of FragPunk, the super-exciting 5v5 hero shooter. NetEase, the publisher, suddenly announced a delay for the console version! Can you imagine the surprise? But don’t worry, PC players, your gaming fun is still on track for March 6, 2025.
Why the Wait?
So, why the sudden change of plans? Well, it turns out there were some unexpected technical problems during the testing phase for the PlayStation and Xbox versions. Bad Guitar Studio, the developer, and NetEase decided it was better to take some extra time to fix these issues, even if it means making fans wait a little longer. They really want to make sure the console version is perfect before it hits the shelves.
What Does This Mean for Players?
PC Players: No Changes for You!
Great news, PC gamers! Your FragPunk adventure starts as planned on March 6, 2025. No delays here!
Console Players: Here’s What’s in Store for You
Sorry, console players, but you’ll have to be a bit more patient. Here’s what NetEase has planned to make it up to you:
- Pre-order Cancellation and Compensation: If you pre-ordered, don’t worry, your order will be automatically canceled. But here’s the good part – you’ll get $10 worth of in-game currency once the console version is out!
- Season 1 Rewards: When you finally log in on your console, you’ll get all the rewards you earned during Season 1. Nice, huh?
- Special Console Bundle: Get ready for a special console bundle that’ll be available once FragPunk launches on consoles. How cool is that?
FragPunk in a Crowded Market
FragPunk is joining a whole bunch of other hero shooters out there, like Overwatch 2 and Marvel Rivals. But it’s got something special – over 70 cards that can change the way you play! Even with this delay, FragPunk has been showing off its potential in closed beta tests, and NetEase has proven they know how to make great hero shooters with Marvel Rivals. So, there’s still lots to look forward to!
Delayed, But Still Promising
So, the console version of FragPunk is delayed, but that just means it’ll be even better when it finally arrives. PC players can still enjoy the game as planned, and console players have some nice treats to look forward to. With its unique features and NetEase’s track record, FragPunk is still a game to keep your eyes on!
