The upcoming strategy game was expected to be released as a Nintendo 3DS exclusive on August 29, but a new trailer for the product - which is being developed by NIS America - has now listed the release date being just over one month later, on October 3.

The trailer does not give a reason for the game's delay, and as of yet, NIS America have not addressed the push back.

Instead, the video gives fans an in-depth overview of 'Culdcept Revolt's unique gameplay, where it details the three types of cards players will use to build their own custom book of cards and how each functions on the battlefield.

'Culdcept Revolt' is a strategy-based RPG that combines elements of card games and board games.

In the game, players roll a pair of dice at the start of their turn and manoeuvre their avatar around a virtual board, trying to acquire the most land and amass enough magic to win the round. During each match, the player must use a book of cards to set traps and summon creatures on the board to defend their land from opponents.

The game features over 400 different cards and more than 150 stages in its single-player campaign, as well as local and online multiplayer modes.

'Culdcept Revolt's launch this year comes as part of the franchise's 20th anniversary celebration. The first title was released on the Sega Saturn and has since spawned five instalments. In the West, the most recent release for the series was back in 2008 when 'Culdcept Saga' was released for the Xbox 360.
