NACON has decided to cancel multiple physical releases of upcoming games, a retailer claims.
According to Video Games Plus, the outlet described as North America’s premier independent videogame retailer/distributor, physical releases for Dragonkin, Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss, Gear Club Unlimited 3, and Edge of Memories have been canceled. These releases were slated for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.
The games are still in development, but Video Games Plus has confirmed that all ESRB physical copies of the games have been canceled and will not be released. They’re offering refunds for any customers who placed pre-orders with them.
