As promised, Devolver Digital streamed theirDevolver Delayed showcase today. In typical Devolver fashion, the showcase lasted a whopping three minutes with the goal of turning a negative announcement into a positive one. The upbeat video offered an opportunity to celebrate the games we can’t play yet.
Overall, the video had a bit of a Nintendo Direct vibe with a similar red and white color theme. Furthermore, the narrators in the background of the video kept an upbeat tone as they went through each title one by one. As I said, classic Devolver Digital fashion.
Five Devolver Digital published titles delayed until 2024
In total, five games have been pushed back to next year. Perhaps the biggest delay is the action-adventure titleThe Plucky Squire. As the video put it, the 2D/3D adventure game forgot about the fourth dimension: time.
Stick it to the Stickman,Anger Foot,Skate Story,andPepper Grinderare also all now releasing in 2024.
This year has already seen some big releases, with quite a few still planned to round out the final months of 2024. Furthermore, the contested release schedule for the rest of the year might make one consider a brief delay. However, Devolver Digital pointed out that these titles simply need a little extra time.
Also, even though these five titles will see a delay, the showcased ended with Devolver pointing out there are still titles launching this year.Gunbrella, Wizard with a Gun, The Talos Principle 2,The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood,andKarmazooare still slated for 2023. Finally, the DLC forBroforce ForeverandMcPixel 3are also going to release this year.
No one likes delays, but Devolver definitely handled them in a fun way. Even still, if you’re a Devolver fan you have a lot to look forward to in the future with some very interesting releases coming in both 2023 and 2024!
