Won't pretend that I'm not slightly disappointed with this news but an extra 12 weeks can't hurt when I've been waiting years for this glorious game!
I hope this gives the team the time needed to deliver the best possible game and more importantly deliver it crunch free! 💙💙

Don't rush the team, but take your time and make the game the best it can be.

Take all the time you need, folks! I’m sure the game’s gonna be a helluva ride regardless!

As we’ve seen with God of War, Red Dead Redemption II, Elden Ring, and more, a small delay like this is nothing in the long run and will be forgotten quickly after release. Take all the time you need, I can’t wait to play!

I still have the utmost faith in Dambuster and this delay just shows the dedication to the game and franchise itself.
After all we have seen long awaited games just released in a horrible state because they refused to delay the game more.

I’ve had this game preordered since 2014. I can wait for a couple more weeks just to have the game you envisioned.
