In a recent announcement, Forthright Entertainment and Soma Games announced a minor delay for eagerly anticipated titles, The Lost Legends of Redwall: The Scout Anthology and The Lost Legends of Redwall: Feasts & Friends. Both games are now set for a synchronized release on February 20, 2024, following a tactical decision to optimize their launch window.
“This is a tactical move for a new release window for an important game the team have been passionately working hard on for consoles and PC,” stated the press release. “We thank the fans, media, and creators for their support, and we will see you on the 20th of February.”
The Redwall series, penned by British writer Brian Jacques from 1986 to 2011, has captivated readers of all ages with its anthropomorphic animals in the Mossflower Wood. With over 20 million copies sold worldwide, the series, featuring 22 novels and two picture books, follows the adventures of creatures like mice, moles, hares, and badgers defending Redwall Abbey against marauding “vermin.” While primarily aimed at adolescents, the series has garnered love from children and adults alike. The final novel, The Rogue Crew, was released posthumously in 2011, concluding Jacques’ legacy.
