As you may have seen, it was previously reported that the upcoming video game Biomutant of THQ Nordic would be released before the end of the publisher’s financial year. If true, it would mean that the long-threatened title would fall on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC before March 31 this year. However, this does not appear to be the case, as an update of the original report via an explanation from the publisher rather indicated that it would appear during the next financial year, which begins in April.
This all comes back to an annual report from last year on the title being released this financial year, as well as a recent interview from GamesIndustry.biz with Klemens Kreuzer, CEO of THQ Nordic. Kreuzer apparently initially claimed this Biomutant will release this term, which apparently is not the case.
For the record: this article previously said Biomutant should be released in the first quarter of 2021. THQ Nordic has issued and clarified that the game is actually planned for the next financial year, which starts in April. https://t.co/43ETgXOhgC
