The release date for The Thaumaturge has been pushed back slightly, and it is now set to launch on March 4th instead of the originally planned date. Despite the game being fully complete, publisher 11 Bit Studios announced the decision to delay the launch via social media today.
The reason cited for the delay is the crowded release schedule of February, which includes notable titles like Ubisoft’s Skull and Bones on the 16th and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth on the 29th.
In their statement on X, the publisher explained that while the game is ready for release, they believe it deserves a dedicated space to be fully enjoyed by players. They expressed their gratitude for the patience of the community and welcomed players to explore 1905 Warsaw within the game’s richly detailed world.
With February’s busy launch period, we've decided to move the release of the Thaumaturge to March 4th, 2024.
The game is complete, but we want to give it space so it can be enjoyed the way we believe it deserves.

Developed by Fool’s Theory, a team comprising AAA industry veterans known for their work on titles like Seven: The Days Long Gone and the upcoming remake of the original Witcher for CD Projekt, The Thaumaturge was officially announced a year ago.
Described as an isometric story-driven RPG, the game emphasizes character development and investigation mechanics within a supernatural rendition of early 20th-century Poland.
The narrative of The Thaumaturge intertwines with historical events, particularly Poland’s annexation by Russia, offering a unique blend of history and fantasy. The game promises a journey into a spiritual realm governed by powers beyond the comprehension of ordinary individuals.
With its intriguing premise and attention to detail, The Thaumaturge is shaping up to be a captivating experience, and while the slight delay may test the patience of eager fans, it’s hoped that the extra time will ensure a polished and immersive gameplay experience for all.
