I just came across this post and it does make sense. Even more sense than my previous theory. https://www.reddit.com/r/Choices/comments/cgw9nv/in_defense_of_pixelberry_or_across_the_void_is/

But I don't think it's only about ATV. I think that it's also because of It Lives. From everything that happened in ATV and ILB, the many items you buy per chapter, the different outcomes depending on who lives and who dies etc, it was clear that they expected that those two books to be super financially successful and that the staff would be currently working on them. But ATV was confirmed to be a standalone and if ILB was as successful as they had expected, they would probably be working on it so they could release it at around halloween. So the user's theory is that they had a schedule and that book that were part of said scheduled failed so that gap has to be closed somehow...
