Following the poor reception to the game’s recent announcement trailer, Aspyr is no longer planning to launch the game on February 5th, 2026. Aspyr hasn’t provided a new release date, and given that the company is fully refunding preorders, the game probably won’t come out anytime soon.
Wario World is now available as part of the GameCube games you can play with a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription. Nintendo’s trailer for the release has hilariously dramatic music that I’m guessing will rival anything shown at tomorrow’s Game Awards.
