CrossfireX delayed to 2021 due to COVID-19 challenges

CrossfireX has been delayed to 2021, developer Smilegate has confirmed.

The title is a collaboration between two developers, with Smilegate tackling the game’s multiplayer segment and Remedy (Control, Alan Wake) its single-player campaign. It was originally planned for Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Series S this year but will now be released in 2021.

An update on Twitter reads:

After much deliberation, and in consideration of the challenges faced by the Smilgate development team due to COVID-19, we have made the difficult decision to delay the release of CrossfireX to 2021.

Moving our release will allow us to deliver the Crossfire experience on console our team set out to create. We’ll have more to share in the future.

We'll have more on CrossfireX as it's made available.

Still no surprise, but better delayed than canceled. Hopefully they can work out the issues better.
