Beginning of the year with many delays
Fairy Tail is not the only video game that has been delayed in these first weeks of the year. Final Fantasy VII Remake was going to be available from March 3, but the team decided to move the release date until April 10. The wait will be longer in the case of Marvel's Avengers, whose launch was set for May. Even so, it will be released on September 4. Cyberpunk 2077 will do the same on the 17th of that same month, when the science fiction city was going to light its neons on April 16. Ellie will not unleash her fury in February, so she will wait until the weather is warmer on May 29 to bring us The Last of Us Part 2.
The GUST Studios game, meanwhile, has confirmed a digital Deluxe Edition, which includes two extra costumes and the Lacrima set. Fairy Tail will be released on PS4, PC (Steam) and Nintendo Switch.
