Manticore - Galaxy on Fire was delayed due to an "unexpected issue" that cropped up last minute

GN Version 5.0

Manticore - Galaxy on Fire was delayed a day before it saw launch, which was a surprise to everyone. The game had been available to preload for awhile, so it's obvious that the delay was a surprise to the developers as well. Now we finally have some info on why the game saw a delay so close to launch. The following comes from Manticore lead designer Patrick Imbusch.

I can’t give you a lot more details at this point, but you can probably imagine it’s a very unfortunate situation for everyone involved, as we were just excited as you to see reviews, discussions and especially you guys getting your hands on it today. We didn’t make that decision lightly, but it had to be done due to an unexpected issue that basically occured at the very last minute and despite our best efforts couldn’t be fixed in time.

We’re working very closely with Nintendo to keep you updated and people who pre-ordered will receive a separate message by Nintendo soon. We will announce a new release date in just a few days and while it’s not 100% set in stone yet, you can be sure it’s not going to take months but only a few weeks till the game (finally) launches.
