Basically, Hino claims it's because the company they originally asked for help hid the fact that they didn't have the staff to create a Inazuma Eleven size game and they realized it too late. They've now switched to a different company

Like Goodwizard said, they're postponing it to May 2019 or later. He also raises the possibility that Orion will be DLC

In my opinion, he should've said this stuff earlier, it would've saved him from a lot of the hate he's receiving. He's mainly making it that company's fault, but Hino himself is also at fault for not planning the story and such properly and not actually working on said game until the anime was decided
