Another Angle Games has announced a surprise delay for Shadow of the Road, a tactical RPG supported by Owlcat Games. Originally scheduled for release this November, the project will now launch on March 10, 2027, to allow the development team additional time for final polishing.
The developers intend to use this extra time to refine tactical combat encounters and adjust balance. The studio aims to ensure that positioning, initiative, and skill selection remain critical, rewarding players for thoughtful planning and meaningful decision-making during battles.
Progression systems are also being adjusted to encourage experimentation with various abilities. By enhancing these mechanics, the team hopes to make party development more engaging while providing a more refined experience and a more interesting world for players to explore.
Set in a unique version of feudal Japan featuring yokai and steampunk elements, the game tasks players with controlling a diverse group of characters. Until the new release date, the studio plans to share further trailers and updates regarding the title's narrative and gameplay.
