Omori’s European publisher, Meridiem Games, terminates the game’s physical release in Europe. Read on to learn more about the termination and the reason why many fans are disappointed by this news.

Omori’s Switch and PS4 Physical Release TerminationA Series of Unfortunate Delays

Omori’s physical release for Nintendo Switch and PS4 in Europe has been terminated, as announced by the Spanish publisher Meridiem Games on Twitter(X), citing technical challenges with multilingual European localization.

When a Twitter(X) user inquired about what kind of problems the developers encountered regarding the localization, the publishers stated that it could not provide any more information beyond what was communicated in the post.

Fans have observed that stores like Amazon listed the game’s European physical release as March 2023. However, it was delayed to December of the same year, and again to March 2024. Those who pre-ordered received an email from Amazon stating that the release would again be postponed to January 2025. Unfortunately, these delays culminated in today's announcement of the release's termination.

The termination has undoubtedly disappointed many fans, especially as it would have been the first time that the game would officially be playable in Spanish and other European languages. European fans can still physically own the Switch and PS4 versions of Omori, but only by importing a US copy.

Omori is a role-playing game following a young boy named Sunny who secludes himself after a traumatic incident. The game shifts between the real world and Sunny’s dream world, where he adopts the persona Omori. Initially launched on PC in December 2020, the game broadened to Switch, PS4, and Xbox platforms in 2022. However, due to an unsuitable T-shirt design that OMOCAT sold on their website in 2013, Xbox removed the game from its platform, making it inaccessible to Xbox players.
