Advance Wars 1+2 Reboot Camp had an announcement trailer back in June that hyped up fans of the series. The game looked vibrant while the strategic turn-based combat looked fun and engaging. Until today though, Advance Wars 1+2 Reboot Camp has been rather silent, not offering much to any new pieces of information or trailers for the remake.
Advance Wars 1+2 Reboot Camp is a remake of the original Advance Wars games that were released on the Game Boy Advance. Advance Wars came out in 2001 while Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising came out in 2003. The new remake for the Nintendo Switch is looking to cover the events of both Game Boy Advance games while offering a visual upgrade, quality of life changes, and other various changes.
Unfortunately, fans that were interested in purchasing the remake this coming December will have to wait a while longer. Advance Wars 1+2 Reboot Camp has been delayed from December 3rd to Spring 2022. The cause of the delay was that the Advance Wars remake needed more time for “fine tuning.” This makes sense seeing how quiet the remake was these past couple of months. Interestingly enough though, Advance Wars 1+2 Reboot Camp wasn’t given a specific release date and has instead been delayed to Spring. The delay will help to fix any lingering issues the remake might have as well as potentially make sure Advance Wars 1+2 Reboot Camp is up to fans' standards.
The delay to Spring 2022 could be considered is a little odd since Advance Wars 1+2 Reboot Camp was originally going to be released in December. Now the title doesn't have a specific date but rather a range that makes the problem seem larger than it is. That being said, this is probably no cause of concern as there can be various behind-the-scenes reasons for the delay including something as simple as not wanting to release the remake during a packed week or month.
The delay is unfortunate though as December is looking a little empty when it comes to video game releases. The exception, of course, being Halo Infinite’s release, though that's only for PC and Xbox and doesn't impact Switch owners who may have been looking forward to playing Advance Wars.
Overall, though, this is actually good news in the end as the finished product will be even further polished. The strategic turn-based combat shown in the Advance Wars 1+2 Reboot Camp announcement trailer and the treehouse gameplay footage looked vibrant and promising. Fans that are interested in this genre of games will be happy to know that Advance Wars 1+2 Reboot Camp will be absent of large bugs when it releases next year.
Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp will be released in Spring 2022 for Nintendo Switch.
