Devolver Delayed is a cheeky take on game announcements

Devolver Digital is celebrating its delayed games with a cheeky Nintendo Direct-style showcase called Devolver Delayed – announcing all the games that supposed to come out this year and be pushed into the next.

During the three-minute showcase, Devolver Digital announced that All Possible Futures’ The brave squireFree Lives’ Stick it to the StickmanSam Eng Skate storyFree Lives’ anger foot, and that of Ahr Ech Pepper mill are all pushed back to 2024. The showcase had an upbeat vibe that you’d more often attribute to a Nintendo Direct, making the delay announcements uniquely Devolver. And after all, it works: see, a delayed game is a better game, giving developers more time to fix the problems.

We’ve all seen what happens when a game is released before it’s supposed to be – ahem, Cyberpunk 2077. Certainly, Cyberpunk 2077 ended up being a good game, I’m sure no one wants the bugs to overshadow the rest of the game upon release.

Aside from Devolver Digital’s delays, the publisher has quite a few more games this year: The Talos Principle 2, Gunbrella, Karma Zoo, wizard with a gun, And The cosmic wheel Sisterhood all come before the end of this year. No shortage of games!
