Summary

  • ONTOS will now launch in 2027 instead of its previously planned 2026 window, publisher Kepler Interactive and developer Frictional Games said.
  • Frictional said the delay is meant to support its “most ambitious game to date,” citing the project’s size, scale, and the depth of its story and gameplay.
  • The science-fiction mystery thriller is still slated for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store.
  • More updates on ONTOS, its characters, and its world are expected later as the teams continue development.
