Meridiem Games, Omori's European publisher, has cancelled the physical release of the game for Nintendo Switch and PS4 in Europe. The publisher cited technical difficulties with multilingual European localization as the reason for the cancellation.

A String of Delays Leads to Cancellation

The physical release, initially slated for March 2023, faced multiple delays, pushing it to December 2023, then March 2024, and finally to January 2025. Pre-orders were subsequently cancelled by retailers like Amazon. Meridiem Games offered little further explanation beyond the initial announcement on Twitter (X).

This cancellation is a significant blow to European fans, especially those anticipating the game's official release in Spanish and other local languages. While the game remains available digitally, European players seeking a physical copy will now need to import a US version.

Omori, an RPG following Sunny, a young boy coping with trauma, blends reality and a dream world where he becomes Omori. Initially released on PC in 2020, the game expanded to other consoles in 2022. However, the Xbox version was removed due to an issue with merchandise from the game's creator.
