Roguelite/fighter hybrid game Spiritfall will now arrive in Steam Early Access in April.

Announced today, the title will land on April 3. It was originally slated for a March release. A statement from game developer Gentle Giant reads:

"Hello everyone,

Steam Next Fest was incredible for us with more players than ever giving feedback on our wee game.

Based on that feedback, and some team discussions and new ideas, we have decided to delay the Early Access of Spiritfall to April 3rd, 2023.

This allows us to give Spiritfall a little more time in the oven, and make players' experience at launch the very best it can be.

Much love,

The Gentle Giant team"
