Open Roads needs a little more time in the oven and has now been delayed. Annapurna Interactive says it’s now slated for March 28, 2024.
Ultimately this amounts to about a month-long delay. Previously, it was on track for February 22. But Annapurna says the extra time is necessary to “ensure the most polished experience for players.”
Open Roads was announced at the very end of 2020, but it wasn’t confirmed for Switch until a month or so ago. We’ve included some information about the title for those that need a recap below.
One fine fall day, Tess Devine and her mother, Opal, discover a cache of old notes and letters carefully stashed away in the attic of their house. Hints of deep-rooted family secrets, decades-old burglaries, a lost treasure somewhere near the Canadian border… What they uncover suggests a much darker mystery, best left well enough alone.
But that’s not going to happen.
In Open Roads, Tess and Opal embark on a road trip adventure to explore a series of long-abandoned family properties, unearthing the past. They’ll search the ruins of these places that hold buried memories, things Opal has tried for years to forget. And in this search, they’ll discover not just the truth they’ve been seeking, but each other.
Featuring star performances by Keri Russell (The Americans, Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker) and Kaitlyn Dever (Booksmart, Uncharted 4).
