It’s a sad time for many Nintendo Switch stans, even sadder perhaps than the end ofAnimal Crossing: New Horizons' updates - Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time is no longer releasing this October.

“I’ve never been this hurt by a tweet before,” reads one very relatable response. “Devastated,” writes another fan. Others speculate that developer Level-5 chose to delay Fantasy Life i to avoid the slew of October’s other big releases, such asDragon Age: The Veilguardand theSilent Hill 2 remake: “Bros saw 40 games releasing in October and dipped.” Regardless of the reason behind this second delay, I’ll be (impatiently) waiting once more.

After spending years with her head in various fantastical realms' clouds, Anna studied English Literature and then Medieval History at the University of Edinburgh, going on to specialize in narrative design and video game journalism as a writer. She has written for various publications since her postgraduate studies, including Dexerto, Fanbyte, GameSpot, IGN, PCGamesN, and more. When she’s not frantically trying to form words into coherent sentences, she’s probably daydreaming about becoming a fairy druid and befriending every animal or she’s spending a thousand (more) hours traversing the Underdark in Baldur’s Gate 3. If you spot her away from her PC, you’ll always find Anna with a fantasy book, a handheld video game console of some sort, and a Tamagotchi or two on hand.
