TinyBuild and Cradle Games have announced today that the upcoming sci-fi RPG Hellpoint has been delayed from its original April 2020 release window, and will now release in 2020 Q2 on PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC.
Not all is lost, though, as the announcement also comes with a new teaser trailer that should keep you going for about, well, 23 seconds… The developers have said that they’ll use this extra time to polish the game and incorporate improvements based on player feedback of the recently released free chapter, The Thesbian Feast.
Matt Boudreau, Creative Director at Cradle Games:
“In light of the unprecedented events facing the world, we have been forced to postpone the launch of the game. We plan to use the additional development time not just for polishing, but also to address the feedback we’ve gathered and make Hellpoint an even better gaming experience for everybody! The feedback of the community had such enthusiasm and energy.”

Key Features:
- Souls-like gameplay in a unique setting: Explore the derelict space station of Irid Novo and face bizarre enemies with a tight and unforgiving combat system.
- Occult space story: Blending science and fantasy, the intensely atmospheric dark sci-fi setting will keep you searching for answers.
- Dynamic World: The Quantic System acts as a dungeon master, slightly transforming the game world every time you die and triggering events as the station revolves around the black hole.
