Moonglow Bay Delayed To Late October

We’ve been keeping an eye on the development and impending release of Moonglow Bay. The Fishing and Adventure-focused game captured our attention during E3, and since then we’ve been excited to take a look at it. Originally, it was intended to release on October 7^th, but now that release is going to come a little later.

According to the developers at Bunnyhug, Moonglow Bay will now release on October 26^th for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and Steam. The Epic Games Store release will still launch as planned on November 11^th, but the other platforms will just take a little longer. Here is what the developers had to say about this delay.

“The game is delayed, but not by much! We at Bunnyhug have been working on Moonglow Bay for 4 years alongside Coatsink to make the best experience possible. Sadly, over the last few weeks, we’ve been encountering some pesky bugs which have made getting a clean release build difficult. The game is now in a good place and in the final stage of development, but still needs to pass the final hurdles, so to ensure all is right as rain, we’ll be releasing Moonglow Bay on October 26! We hope you can enjoy what’s coming!”

If you’re unaware of what Moonglow Bay is all about, check out this bit of info from the press release as well. “Moonglow Bay was once the jewel of the Eastern Canadian coastline until rumors of dangerous, fantastical creatures ruined the fishing trade. With the town on the verge of bankruptcy and only one year until its centennial, you decide to fulfill your partner’s final wish of starting a business in a decisive attempt to revive the town.

Along the way you will befriend locals and encounter strange fish, cook and sell a variety of recipes; acquire new equipment, such as rods and a fishing boat; learn to cast nets, set traps, and fish through ice. Explore the furthest reaches of the bay, from frigid glaciers to boiling geysers; and ultimately determine if there is any truth to the tales…

Combining a playful voxel art style and a sumptuous soundtrack, Moonglow Bay features distinct story arcs, 100+ aquatic species to discover, monster encounters, and a fully-inhabited town to explore, which can be enjoyed both single-player or with drop-in-drop-out local co-op. Explore the ocean, grow your business and restore life to an enchanting coastal town! “

Moonglow Bay will cost potential purchasers £19.99 / $24.99 USD / €24.99 across all platforms. We’re excited about the release, even if it is going to take a little longer than expected.
