Forever Entertainment has announced that Front Mission 2: Remake has been delayed on Switch, just ahead of its initial planned launch on June 12th, 2023.
The delay is to ensure the team has "sufficient time to add as many functionalities as possible while proceeding with proper implementation and tests". Forever Entertainment has not provided a revised release date at this time, but is currently aiming for the third quarter of 2023.
Here's the release in full:
