'BLACKPINK: The Game' OST Delayed

"BLACKPINK: The Game" was launched back in May, and despite the game being released months ago, fans were surprised and a bit confused as to why it has taken the group so long to release the official soundtrack.

The official social media accounts for "The Game" posted a statement regarding the delays regarding the release of the song.

"We understand that the wait must feel endless and frustrating.

First and foremost, we would like to sincerely apologize for the continued delay.

"Our deep desire to present the highest quality of content flawlessly took longer than expected, and therefore our initial plan to release the [music video] simultaneously with the game release was delayed significantly."

The news of the release date being pushed back was met with criticisms from fans.

"This is how you treat fans and customers? For real. Instead of pretending like nothing happened, you can do this from the beginning. Why it took you 3 months to address the OST release? It's so disappointing," one wrote.

"WITHIN A FK MONTHHH???? IN THE GAMEEE??? You BETTER be joking."
