Beep Japan and developer RS34 have delayed the release date of vertical shoot ’em up Radirgy 2 from December 7 to March 28, 2024. The game will be available for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.
The Radirgy series began in 2005 with the original shoot ’em up arcade title in Japan. Radirgy would come to SEGA Dreamcast, PlayStation 2, and Nintendo GameCube in 2006, but a localized release would not come until the release of Ultimate Shooting Collection on Wii. Unfortunately, fans will need to wait a little while longer before playing the new Radirgy sequel.

Beep Japan released an official statement, confirming that Radirgy 2 will now release on March 28, 2024. The publisher notes that more development time is needed in order to implement further quality improvements and adjustments. Pre-orders are now available for the game in Japan. The first Radirgy game will also be included with purchases, and more details will be revealed at a later date.
