Omori Cancels Switch and PS4 Physical Release in Europe
Meridiem Games, Omori's European publisher, has cancelled the physical release of the game for Nintendo Switch and PS4 in Europe. The cancellation, announced on Twitter (X), cites technical difficulties related to multilingual European localization.
A String of Postponements Leads to Cancellation
The physical release, initially slated for March 2023, faced multiple delays, shifting to December 2023, then March 2024, and finally January 2025. Pre-orders were subsequently cancelled by retailers like Amazon. Meridiem Games declined to provide further details beyond the initial announcement regarding the localization issues.
This news is a significant disappointment for European fans, as it prevents the official release of a Spanish and other localized European language versions. While a US import remains an option, the cancellation denies players a locally sourced physical copy.
