Norco Console Version Release Date Delayed

gamerant.com:

Publisher Raw Fury recently announced that the upcoming sci-fi Gothic adventure game Norco will be delayed, though no new release date has been given. The game, which is being developed by indie studio Geography of Robots, has been available on PC since March 2022 and received rave reviews on both Steam and OpenCritic. It was originally slated to release on Xbox and PlayStation consoles on October 20.

In June, Norco became the first-ever video game to win an award at the Tribeca Film Festival, with the developer’s work being recognized for its “potential for excellence in art and storytelling.” The point-and-click adventure game takes place in the “suburbs and verdant industrial swamps” of an alternate version of a town called Norco in southern Louisiana. The game has been compared to the 2019 award-winning RPG Disco Elysium, primarily for its successful creation of a lived-in world.

Unfortunately for console gamers who were looking forward to the upcoming release of Norco in October, that plan has been delayed. In a Twitter post, Raw Fury made the announcement, and developer Geography of Robots later explained the reason for the postponed console launch. Essentially, there was a “little oops” with the indie game’s certification, and so Norco’s release is on hold until it can get another certification review.

It will likely be worth the wait, and not only for Xbox Game Pass subscribers who will get Norco as a day one release. Since it launched, the developer has continued to improve Norco via regular updates that have added controller support, auto combat, expert mode for increased challenge, localization options, and a number of bug fixes.
