The release of The Chinese Room's Little Orpheus has been pushed back due to the war in Ukraine.
Publisher Secret Mode shared a message on Twitter yesterday, which is when the game was due to launch on consoles and PC.
"In light of recent world events, today's PC and console launch for Little Orpheus will be delayed," the message read.

Secret Mode didn't set a new release date for the title, and said it would "share more information at a later point."
