Just before it was supposed to release on PS5, developer TeamKill Media announced that it would delay its upcoming game, Code Violet. Luckily, players looking forward to the upcoming release won’t have to wait too long to get their hands on it.
What is the new Code Violet release date?
In a new X (formerly Twitter) post from TeamKill Media, Code Violet will now launch on January 10, 2026. According to the developer, the decision to prolong the game’s release is due to “stubborn technical roadblocks” with the deluxe and preorder editions of the game. As a result, the developer has decided to release one Standard Edition, which will include everything from the preorder and deluxe editions.
“During certification, we hit some stubborn technical roadblocks related to unlocking entitlements for the deluxe and pre-order editions,” says the post. “Our four-person team pulled 20-hour days for weeks, exploring every possible fix, but it pushed back our plans for gameplay and story trailers, as well as getting review codes out the door.”
“Though this shift impacts our revenue, the choice was clear: we couldn’t bear to keep our fans waiting,” continues the post. “So, we’re moving forward with one unified Code Violet edition, where every purchase includes all the bonus outfits, items, and perks—no tiers.”
This means Code Violet will now be $49.99 and include all of the content from the deluxe edition. It is currently not listed on the PlayStation Store as the original listing has been removed. TeamKill Media confirmed in replies to fans that it should be back up tomorrow, and users should be able to preorder the game.
When Code Violet was originally announced, it was slated for a July 2025 release. Then, in July 2025, TeamKill Media announced the game would release on November 14, 2025. However, a month after that reveal, the developer announced it would be delaying the game further, to December 12, 2025, to avoid competing with Call of Duty: Black Ops 7.
