To provide more insights into their decision, the companies shared an extended version of the announcement on Gearbox’s website. They addressed speculation that Blackbird Interactive’s implementation of a four-day work week in 2022 might be the cause for the release date delay. However, the developers clarified that the change in work schedule was not a contributing factor. They emphasized that the team has been able to achieve even greater productivity with the additional personal time afforded to them. The release date extension was not prompted by any technical hurdles or changes in the scope of the game. Rather, it is simply a result of the time required to create and polish a comprehensive gaming experience.
