Taking More Time to Finish LIRAI Properly
To everyone who has been following and supporting LIRAI,We want to apologize for the delay sincerely.After a thorough review of the project and its current state, we’ve made an extremely difficult decision to move LIRAI’s release to April 2027. We know many of you have been waiting patiently for updates and for the game itself. Announcing a delay is something we never wanted to do, especially after all the support, encouragement, and trust the community has given throughout development. The truth is that the game is not where we believe it needs to be yet. Over time, LIRAI has grown into a much larger and more demanding project than we originally anticipated. As development continued, it became increasingly clear that releasing the game earlier would mean compromising parts of the experience that are important to us — the atmosphere, the technical stability, the storytelling, and the overall level of polish. We do not want to release something unfinished simply to meet a date. The additional time will allow us to properly refine the game, improve its quality, and make sure the final experience feels complete and worthy of the patience you’ve given us.Development is still active every day, and we’ll continue sharing progress updates as work moves forward. Thank you again for staying with LIRAI and for continuing to believe in the project despite the delays. It genuinely means more to us than we can properly express. — Cryorbis Studio Lirai: Heir of DarknessRead full article on Community Announcements (Cryorbis Studio)AnnouncementsOfficial
