Bulkhead, the Derby-based developer of old-school WW2 shooter Battalion 1944, has announced a"formal end" to its relationship with Square Enix., and announced plans for a fresh project at the studio.
Back in 2018, fans were given reassurances by Battalion that the console versions were still on the wayAt the time, Bulkhead boss Joe Brammer told Eurogamer that the studio let its"enthusiasm for Battalion 1944 get the better of us and set ourselves unachievable deadlines", and had"no intention of offering refunds as our current intention is to deliver what we offered on Kickstarter, albeit late".
"We are deeply disappointed that Battalion 1944 never made it to console and we will be refunding all console Kickstarter backers," Bulkhead wrote."Thank you to everyone that backed the console version and we're sorry it has taken so long to rectify this." https://twitter.com/PlayBattalion/status/1557013505819250689
bulkhead That's sad to hear, Bulkhead. Talk to Netflix*, or something. They require cool games to fill their stable. ☮️
Scammers. Still everyone waiting for the console release they paid for through kickstarter. Impossible to get any reply when asking about it.
As much as I enjoyed Battalion it was clear a while ago that the game was dead in the water. Game literally hasn't breached 100 concurrent players on Steam in two years now.
