2022 has only just begun, but our dear friend Art Van-delay has already shown up a few times to push games further into the year, or even into another year entirely. Game delays aren't rare, and as the year goes on, the list of games delayed in 2022 will only grow larger--rivaling the games releasing in 2022. To help keep it straight, we've compiled a list of all the games delayed so far, removing ones that have eventually been released. These are the games delayed in 2022 so far. Note that only games with delays across all available systems have been included--games with only the Switch cloud version delayed, for example, have been omitted--unless the new versions were planned years after the original release.

Kerbal Space Program 2

The sequel to the acclaimed space flight simulation Kerbal Space Program will not be arriving in 2022. Kerbal Space Program 2 will arrive in early 2023 on PC, followed by a console release later that year, with Intercept Games emphasizing quality and polish as the primary reasons for the delay.

Starfield

One of the biggest games of 2022 will now be one of the biggest games of 2023. Bethesda's Starfield had a set date: November 11, 2022, but this may have been too optimistic. The game will now be releasing at some point in 2023, without a new final date determined. Bethesda gave a vague "polish" explanation for the delay, as well as the delay of Redfall, in an update post on social media in May.

Redfall

Bethesda's other planned 2022 game, Redfall, was delayed at the same time as Starfield and also received a 2023 release window. The cooperative action game is developed by Arkane Austin and looks to differ fairly significantly from the studio's work on Dishonored and Prey. It will also be the first Arkane game to not release on a PlayStation system in more than a decade.

The Day Before

More like a little later than the day before, are we right? The Day Before, a highly anticipated MMO, was scheduled to launch in June, but the development team opted to make a big change. Now, to accommodate a switch to Unreal Engine 5, The Day Before will arrive on March 1, 2023. Studio Fntastic promises a "more advanced and adapted open worlds engine."

MX vs ATV Legends

The race is running a little behind schedule. MX vs ATV Legends was previously planned to release on May 24. However, the game was delayed about a month ahead of that to June 28. The delay was made in order to preserve quality, including eliminating bugs and keeping the frame rate high.

The Witcher 3 (current-gen)

The Witcher 3 released back in 2015 for last-gen systems, and PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions are in development. However, CD Projekt Red opted to move development to its internal team rather than continue working with Saber Interactive. The decision has resulted in the game moving from its Q2 2022 window to an unannounced future date.

Two Point Campus

The university management simulator Two Point Campus was previously supposed to be out on May 17, but it appears Two Point Studios ran into quality issues with some of its supported platforms. The game is now coming on August 9, with game director Mark Webley saying the delay will let the team "deliver the best possible game that can be enjoyed on all platforms."

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild sequel

Previously planned to launch at some point in 2022, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild sequel will now release in Spring 2023. Nintendo didn't get a specific reason for the delay, though with any Zelda game, the reason can usually amount to "making sure it's perfect." The sequel will include gameplay in the air as well as the ground and it sports the same visual style as Breath of the Wild.

Sons of the Forest

The much-anticipated follow-up to The Forest was originally planned to launch in May, but Sons of the Forest developer Endnight Games now says that window was "overly ambitious." The survival game is now scheduled to arrive in October, and given its spooky themes, this new window just might actually be the perfect choice.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League

Rocksteady's first full-length game since Batman: Arkham Knight needs a little more time to cook. Scheduled for a 2022 release previously, the developer announced Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will now be arriving in 2023. The game features characters like Harley Quinn and Deadshot, and it's technically a narrative sequel to Arkham Knight.

EA Sports PGA Tour

Talk about a double bogey. After already delaying the game once with an expected release window of late 2022, EA has opted to delay EA Sports PGA Tour a second time. The upcoming golf game is now coming in Spring 2023, and will have to do without the Tiger Woods name once again. The golf legend has switched teams, now working exclusively with 2K Games.

Starship Troopers - Terran Command

If there's any game that needs to have its bugs squashed, it's Starship Troopers - Terran Command. Based on the cult classic sci-fi satire film, which was itself based on a non-satirical sci-fi book, the game was supposed to release at the end of March. However, it will now arrive on June 16. It's currently "content complete" but the development team didn't want to have to fix it post-launch with further patches.

Advance Wars 1 + 2: Re-Boot Camp

This one hurt. Less than two months before it was due to release--December 3, 2021--Advance Wars 1 + 2: Re-Boot Camp was pushed back to April. It was then pushed back just a month before launch in response to "world events," almost certainly meaning the war in Ukraine. Far more than a remaster, this complete remake of the two GBA-era Advance Wars games sports a new art style and support for up to four players. Given how long it has been since the series' last game, we supposed waiting a few more months isn't the end of the world.

King Arthur: Knight's Tale

A role-playing game with a tactical combat system, King Arthur: Knight's tale was supposed to release at the end of March. However, Neocore Games opted to delay it until April 26 in order to finalize localization efforts and continue testing the game.

STALKER 2: Heart of Chernobyl

Planned previously for an April 2022 launch, the long-awaited STALKER 2 has been delayed to December 8. The seven months are, according to GSC Game World, needed to "fulfill [its] vision and achieve the desired state of the game." Based on its announcement, it appears the majority of this time will be spent on testing and polishing, but the game will launch on Game Pass when it does come out. Development was temporarily sidelined following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, as well, as GSC Game World's studio is based in Kyiv.

Frontier's Warhammer: Age of Sigmar RTS

Can a game be delayed if it doesn't have a final name? Apparently, as Frontier Development has announced its previously teased Warhammer: Age of Sigmar will now likely not arrive until later in 2023. That should be fine with Warhammer fans, as they have quite a few of those games to play in the interim.

Rumbleverse

Only just announced in December 2021 at The Game Awards, Iron Galaxy's Rumbleverse has already been delayed. It will no longer release in February as was previously planned, and the beta test has also been pushed back to an unspecified date. No replacement release date has been set yet, with the team saying it wants to build a great community for the game and needs "to make sure we can get that right."

Evil Dead: The Game

You'll have to wait a little longer than expected to play as Ash Williams and fire his boomstick, as Evil Dead: The Game has been delayed from its February date until May 13, 2022. When the game does arrive, you'll be able to play it across everything from PS5 to Nintendo Switch and PC, and it includes characters from across the entire Evil Dead universe. That includes the Ash vs. Evil Dead series, as well.

The Settlers

The oft-delayed strategy game The Settlers has been delayed again, this time indefinitely. Previously planned to launch March 17, the game was pushed back to an undetermined future date after the game's closed beta received criticism. Ubisoft Dusseldorf is using the time to "improve the game and push quality as [its] main priority for all players."

Forspoken

Square Enix and Luminous Productions originally planned to launch Forspoken in May, but the decision was made to further add polish and make improvements a few months before that date. Now, the game is coming on October 11 for PS5 and PC, offering a unique take on fantasy and magic in an action-adventure game.
