Owlcat pushes samurai CRPG Shadow of the Road to next year on PC
Owlcat Games has delayed its samurai-themed steampunk CRPG, Shadow of the Road, to next year. The studio says it needs more time to polish gameplay and resolve issues. The game is currently planned for PC, not Xbox.
Owlcat Games has moved Shadow of the Road, a role-playing game that blends samurai and steampunk elements, to next year. The developer explained that it wants more time to refine how the game plays and fix outstanding problems. A PC release is the only platform currently planned; an Xbox version is not. The shift places the project among titles whose schedules are adjusted during development, and no additional specifics were shared.
The delay may mainly affect PC players anticipating Owlcat’s samurai-steampunk CRPG, along with fans who follow the studio’s release schedule. It could temper near-term excitement and shift attention to other titles, while giving the developer more time to address gameplay and other issues. Because no Xbox version is currently planned, console-focused players may feel excluded. The broader impact is likely limited to the game’s niche audience rather than society at large.
