Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark Xbox Delay – A Disappointing Setback for Fans
The upcoming Metroidvania-style sequel, Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark, has been delayed on Xbox, with no revised release date announced. The game, developed by Inti Creates, continues the story of its predecessor, Gal Guardians: Demon Purge, while remaining a distinct IP within the Gal Gun universe. Unlike the original Gal Gun series, which leans heavily into arcade shooting mechanics, the Gal Guardians games offer a deep action-adventure experience with a focus on exploration and platforming.
Originally slated for a March 27 release across all major platforms, the news of the delay comes as a surprise to many Xbox fans who were eagerly awaiting the latest entry from Inti Creates—a studio known for iconic titles such as Mega Man Zero and Azure Striker Gunvolt.
Why Was Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark Delayed on Xbox?
The delay was confirmed via an official Twitter post from Inti Creates, where the developer acknowledged the situation but refrained from disclosing the exact cause. While discussions with Microsoft are ongoing, no new launch date has been provided. The studio assured fans that updates will follow as soon as more information is available.
This isn’t the first time Inti Creates has encountered Xbox-related challenges. Gal Gun Returns, a remastered version of the original Gal Gun, was entirely canceled on Xbox One, with speculation pointing toward potential censorship concerns. While no such claims have surfaced regarding Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark, the lack of explanation has left fans wondering if history is repeating itself.
Xbox Delay Won’t Affect PlayStation, Switch, or PC Release
Despite the Xbox delay, Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark remains on track to launch on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam as originally planned. This means players on those platforms can still dive into the game’s dark fantasy world on March 27, experiencing its enhanced gameplay features, Metroidvania-style exploration, and mid-game difficulty switch that allows real-time adjustments to the game’s challenge level.
Unfortunately, Xbox players will have to wait indefinitely, with no guarantee of when (or if) the game will arrive on Microsoft’s platform. Whether this delay is due to technical issues, publishing setbacks, or platform-specific policies remains unclear.

What’s Next for Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark?
With Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark aiming to modernize the Metroidvania genre, players can look forward to an expansive new crafting system, polished platforming mechanics, and a richly detailed world.
While Inti Creates has assured fans that updates on the Xbox release will be shared in the near future, the lack of a concrete timeline raises concerns. Until then, those eager to play the game might consider switching to another platform to avoid the uncertainty surrounding its Xbox launch.
