Perfect World Delays Co-op Top-Down Shooter Livelock Indefinitely
Perfect World is giving its first console game a little more time in the oven. Livelock, a cooperative, top-down shooter has been delayed on all platforms.
The game was scheduled for release next week on August 2 on Xbox One and PC. The PlayStation 4 version was already slated for a later launch.
No new release date has been announced at this time. Perfect World says the pushback is to “ensure the best possible gameplay experience” across all three platforms.

Our Take
Giving games more time often results in a better product. However, the eleventh hour delay does lead us to wonder what went wrong so close to release.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
