#Pocky & Rocky Reshrined Delayed from Fall 2021 to Spring 2022

The Pocky & Rocky series is getting a new lease on life in the form of Pocky & Rocky Reshrined, which was announced for PS4 and Switch with a planned fall 2021 release window. Those plans have changed slightly, with Natsume Atari’s Tengo Project announcing a delay that pushes the sequel to spring 2022. 

The team cited “various circumstances” as the reason for the delay. 

If you’re just now catching up to this one, here’s a trailer from March:

Natsume describes it like so:

Pocky & Rocky follows the adventures of a young Shinto shrine maiden named Pocky and her companion, Rocky the raccoon, as they attempt to save a group of creatures known as the Nopino Goblins. Gameplay takes place from a top-down perspective and features both single-player and cooperative modes.

Pocky & Rocky Reshrined is a sequel to Pocky & Rocky, known in Japan as the action-shooting game series Kiki Kaikai, which first appeared as an arcade game from Taito Corporation in 1986 and is being developed under license from Taito Corporation.
