It’s been barely three months since Bloodhunt launched into Early Access for founders with plans for a full release later this year. Unfortunately, that’s not going to happen as developer Sharkmob pushes the date back by a few months to early 2022.

In addition to the delayed launch, the studio will also be shutting down the Early Access servers until full release while they work on incorporating player feedback into the Vampire: The Masquerade battle royale spinoff.

“The plan was to launch the game this year for both PC and PS5 as we moved out of Early Access: Founder’s Season. Based on key learnings from this early season, we have decided to take the time needed to address the valuable feedback we have received and postpone the release until early 2022. During this period the public servers will be taken offline.”

Among the things that the developers will be working on are stricter anti-cheat measures, improvements to the new player experience, adding better and more varied goals for players, and streamlining sessions and matchmaking to ensure “more playing and less waiting.”

The Early Access servers will be taken offline on November 22nd at 1am PST. Early Access players and those who jump in before the servers go dark will get the chance to be invited to exclusive tests leading up to the game’s full release. Details can be found on the Bloodhunt official site.
