GalaxyTrail has announced that the release date for upcoming game Freedom Planet 2 has been delayed. The developer took to social media to state that the release Switch will not be out until Spring 2024. The team’s reasoning is to provide their developers more time to focus on finalizing the details so players can have the “best possible version” of the game.
XSEED released a statement on social media regarding the delay:
We’ve been working hard with our publishers at XSEED on the console ports of Freedom Planet 2, but we’ll need a few more months to bring it across the finish line. Details below.
Thank you for your patience and support and we’ll see everyone in Spring 2024! We’re almost there! https://t.co/iQgboNRtSx

“Together with our partners at GalaxyTrail, we have made the decision to move the launch window for Freedom Planet 2 on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S to spring 2024.
It’s important to all of us that players have the same high-quality experience the PC version currently offers—as well as new and exciting features yet to be revealed. To that end, we’re going to take a bit more time to ensure we can deliver the best possible version of this fast-paced platforming adventure.
Thank you for your patience and excitement so far! We know you’re eager to return to Avalice, and we can’t wait to share more information in the new year.”
The first game, Freedom Planet, had launched in 2014 on PC and 2018 on Switch. Initially, it was developed as a Sonic the Hedgehog fan game, which later was recognized as its own popular high-speed run gameplay.
