Unexpected production issues push the new PlayStation controller beyond its planned August launch.
Summary
– Sony has delayed the FlexStrike fight stick from its planned August 6 launch
– The company blamed unexpected production delays without announcing a new release date
– FlexStrike had been scheduled to arrive alongside Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls
Sony has delayed the release of its FlexStrike wireless fight stick for PlayStation 5 and PC.
The controller was originally scheduled to launch on August 6, but Sony has moved it to an unspecified future date.
Sony blamed the change on unexpected production delays. The company said another update will be shared once the revised launch timing is confirmed.
FlexStrike was expected to arrive alongside Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls, a new fighting game developed by Arc System Works and published by PlayStation.
The matching release dates would have given fighting game fans a new controller option when the Marvel title became available.
Sony has not announced whether the delay will affect preorders or the availability of accessories at launch.
Players interested in FlexStrike will now have to wait for Sony to provide a confirmed release date.
