Due to ongoing global manufacturing and logistics constraints, the physical edition will shift to August 11th, 2026. ININ Games emphasises that this decision was made to maintain the highest production standards and product quality.To thank the community for its continued support, pre-order customers will have the opportunity to request complimentary digital access keys, allowing them to start playing up to five days ahead of launch. Platform-specific conditions apply.
The Collector’s Edition has been moved to a winter 2026 release window to accommodate an upgraded production process. Notably, the collectible figure included in this edition is now being crafted by the world-renowned Wētā Workshop, promising a premium-quality centrepiece for fans and collectors.
Additionally, ININ Games highlights a key benefit for physical collectors: the retail version will include the latest game build on-disc/cartridge, eliminating the need for a Day One patch.
Despite current economic and supply chain challenges affecting the industry, ININ Games remains committed to delivering a high-quality experience that honors the legacy of the R-Type franchise while meeting modern expectations.
