Babylon's Fall's Season 2 update is being extended to "re-evaluate" the game's future

Square Enix and PlatinumGames have announced they're extended season two of Babylon’s Fall from three months to six in order to “re-evaluate the game’s future operating roadmap". The game's second season is still due to launch next week on May 31st, but will now run through November 29th instead of the originally planned date of August 22nd, the devs said in a statement on the game's Hanging Garden website.

PlatinumGames and Square Enix realised fairly early on that there were significant issues, launching a survey that concentrated on garnering players’ opinions on the graphics.

Babylon’s Fall’s game directors Kenji Saito and Takahisa Sugiyama touched on issues with the game’s graphics in an interview posted on Square Enix’s site last week. They say improvements are coming in the season two update. Sugiyama said that the development team had not been able to do enough testing on the graphics before the game launched, and they had not been aware of the “visibility aspect
