Red Art Games announced that the western release of the anime shoot ’em up Macross: Shooting Insight has been delayed into 2025 to ensure that both the physical and digital versions are “of the highest quality.”

Unfortunately, we already know that the Western release will lack all the content and characters from Macross: Do You Remember Love? While the developers have not explicitly commented (to our knowledge), this is likely due to Harmony Gold getting in the way, as Harmony Gold does.

The game will be coming for PC, PS4, PS5, and Nintendo Switch.
