Omori Cancels Switch and PS4 Physical Release in Europe

Meridiem Games Cancels Omori's European Physical Release for Switch and PS4

Meridiem Games, the European publisher for Omori, has announced the cancellation of the game's physical release for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 in Europe. The publisher cited technical difficulties related to multilingual European localization as the reason for the cancellation, offering no further details beyond their initial Twitter (X) announcement.

This decision follows a series of delays. Initially slated for a March 2023 release, the physical edition was postponed to December 2023, then March 2024, and finally to January 2025. Pre-orders through retailers like Amazon were ultimately canceled.

The cancellation is a significant disappointment for European fans, as it prevents the official release of a Spanish and other localized European language versions. While a US import remains an option for those seeking a physical copy, the lack of official localization remains a setback.

Omori, an RPG about a young boy named Sunny coping with trauma through his dream world persona, Omori, initially launched on PC in December 2020. It later expanded to Switch, PS4, and Xbox in 2022. However, the Xbox version was removed due to an inappropriate T-shirt design previously sold by the developer, OMOCAT.
