Apologizing repeatedly for the delay, R-Type Tactics\u2019 director Kazuma Kujo explained that \u201cWe have encountered some points in the development process that require more time to be addressed, making it difficult for us to release the title in Fall 2024.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Granzella seemed keen to show that they have been working hard on the twice-delayed game.
