Nintendo held a new Indie World Showcase presentation in December 2019 where it announced that Sports Story, the long-awaited sequel to Golf Story, would launch in mid-2020 on Nintendo Switch exclusively on the console. Unfortunately, however, the title was delayed indefinitely and since Sidebar Games confirmed that the game was delayed last August, we’ve heard nothing more about its development.
Now, Sidebar Games have shared the following on their Twitter account:
Sports Story Update: Everything is coming together now. Please look forward to more updates going forward, we have much to share!

In a later post, the team also shared a new screenshot. Here it is:

We hope that the promised updates will arrive soon, but for the time being we still don’t know a release window. In the meantime, we’ll keep an eye out for updates.
