The upcoming story-driven action game was originally supposed to be released in November this year, but game developers at DontNod Entertainment - who are known for their story-driven games, having previously found success with 'Life is Strange' - have announced a "technical issue" means the title won't be ready until Spring next year.
In a statement posted to the game's website, DontNod CEO Oskar Guilbert said: "Delaying the release of a project you hold dear is always a tough decision. However, we believe that meeting a deadline should never compromise quality. We were still convinced just a few weeks ago that we would be able to release Vampyr this year. Unfortunately, a technical issue - now solved - has set our teams' schedule back at the end of the development.
"This delay allows us enough time for all the polishing and balancing phase, much needed for a game of Vampyr's scope, with its ambitious, semi-open world, its complex narrative and deep RPG mechanics that give players a real impact on the world.
"We want to thank our publisher Focus Home Interactive for giving us the means and time necessary to provide players a memorable experience... especially since so many of you are eagerly waiting for it."
As of the time of writing, there is no firm release date set for the game, so players will have to keep their eyes peeled when Spring comes.
'Vampyr' will be available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC users.
