Legend of California Early Access Delayed to Next Year

Ever been hyped for a Wild West survival shooter, only to hear the launch got pushed back? That's exactly what's happening with The Legend of California, which has officially delayed its early access release to next year.

The devs had been feeling pretty good about things coming out of their last alpha test. One of the problems raised during that test was wonky elevators, and apparently that's been sorted out. Good news for anyone who likes their lifts functioning properly in the Old West.

But another issue surfaced during some of the game's earlier testing, and it's serious enough to force the early access release to slip. The source doesn't spell out exactly what that problem is, but it's clearly the kind of thing the team doesn't want to ship with.

So what does this mean for you? If you've been counting down the days to saddle up in this open world survival shooter, you'll need to hang tight a little longer. The team is prioritizing getting things right over rushing out the door, which is usually a good sign in the long run.

It's worth noting the devs were upfront about their alpha progress, calling out both the elevator fix and the new blocker. That kind of transparency is refreshing, even when the news isn't what players want to hear.

For now, there's no exact new date beyond "next year," so keep an eye on official channels for updates. The Wild West will still be there when the game is ready.

What do you think about the delay? Will you be picking this one up when it finally launches?
