ININ Games has announced a delay for those wanting a physical copy of R-Type Dimensions III, as it’s now coming on August 11th this year. However, the digital edition will still be available on May 19th, as planned.
In a statement from a press release, ININ Games says: “Due to ongoing global manufacturing and logistics constraints, the physical edition will shift to August 11th, 2026. ININ Games emphasizes that this decision was made to maintain the highest production standards and product quality.”
The publisher continues: “To thank the community for its continued support, pre-order customers will have the opportunity to request complimentary digital access keys, allowing them to start playing up to five days ahead of launch. Platform-specific conditions apply.”
ININ added: “The Collector’s Edition has been moved to a winter 2026 release window to accommodate an upgraded production process. Notably, the collectible figure included in this edition is now being crafted by the world-renowned Wētā Workshop, promising a premium-quality centrepiece for fans and collectors.
Additionally, ININ Games highlights a key benefit for physical collectors: the retail version will include the latest game build on-disc/cartridge, eliminating the need for a Day One patch.
Despite current economic and supply chain challenges affecting the industry, ININ Games remains committed to delivering a high-quality experience that honors the legacy of the R-Type franchise while meeting modern expectations.”
In the distant future, humanity faces its greatest threat: the Bydo Empire, a horrifying bio-mechanical life-form capable of corrupting and absorbing anything it touches. Although humans once created the Bydo as a weapon, the experiment spiraled out of control. Now the Bydo exist beyond normal space and continually attempt to invade human reality. After multiple wars and near-extinction events, the Bydo return once again—stronger, more adaptive, and far more aggressive. To counter this new invasion, the Earth Space Corps develops a cutting-edge fighter: the R-90 Ragnarok, a next-generation R-Type craft.
R-Type Dimensions III will be coming to Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PC (Steam), Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 digitally on May 19th.
