River City Girls 2’s delayed Western release date has now been announced

After great anticipation, River City Girls 2 finally released on the 1st of December…in Japan. Unfortunately, the game’s Western release was pushed back citing the need for “a bit more time”. Though no release date was given then, the team at WayForward have now announced that River City Girls 2 is coming to Europe and America next week.

Making the announcement on their blog, developer/publisher WayForward said “Break out the baseball bats, polish the brass knuckles, and start practicing your dabs — at last, River City Girls 2 has a release date! We are thrilled to announce that the highly anticipated brawler is scheduled to launch digitally in North America and Europe on December 15, 2022.”

This marks a two-week delay over the game’s Japanese release, and while internationally staggered releases still happen, it is quickly becoming less common with each passing year.

Of course, as mentioned the game was originally planned for a simultaneous worldwide release on the 1st of December – though this was ultimately altered due to reasons not shared by the studio.

Fortunately, a two-week delay is rather minor, especially when compared to other staggered game releases in the past, and so it is exciting to see that in just over a week Western fans will be able to get their hands on this much-anticipated sequel to a well-loved indie brawler.
