After rumors a week ago that Lovecraftian horror game The Sinking City was going to see a delay, especially as the intended release date was coming later this month with nary a word from the developer or publisher on it, the news is now official. The Sinking City will now release on June 27.

The publisher BigBen Interactive put up a video today explaining the new release, which you can find below.

Basically, March is really crowded. There’s not only a lot of competition for money, but for time, and BigBen wants players to be able to spend as much time with it as possible. That reasoning sounds strange, as they could just say the game needs a few more months or that they don’t want it to get buried, but you do you, BigBen. I’m not sure June is going to be that much less crowded.

The Sinking City releases on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on June 27.
