Note that it’s not cancelled, they’re just asking for more time and don’t know when it will release.

    The (IMHO) important bits:

    TLDR:

    Our continuous internal reviews and beta test groups have highlighted areas that we need to focus on more, mainly performance and content

    From the FAQ:

    Is the game canceled?
    No, the game is not canceled.

    What happens to pre-orders?
    All pre-orders will be refunded in the upcoming weeks. The option to pre-order the game will be removed and the bonus will instead be added to the base game for all

    Is there going to be Early Access or Beta Access to the game?
    There will not be an early access or extra beta access right now

    In the blog there are the steps to how to get the refunds, I’m not copying them in case they change.

    As they say, A Delayed Game Is Eventually Good, But a Bad Game Is Bad Forever /s?

      All of this could have been said about PDX’s Sims competitor Life By You when it got “delayed indefinitely” too. But then a week later it was cancelled. And then a week after that the lead dev came out and said there was no reason for it to have been cancelled because they had been on track for release before Paradox pulled the plug.
