Here's everything Devolver Digital is delaying into 2025
Trust Devolver Digital to turn a bunch of sad-faced delay announcements into an evening of glitzy fun for all the family. And as per the publisher’s freshly aired 15th Annual Devolver Delayed Awards 2024, we now know precisely which of its titles have missed their most recent release windows, gliding effortlessly into 2025.
First up is Baby Steps – created by Getting Over It developer Bennett Foddy, alongside Gabe Cuzzillo and Maxi Boch – in which players take adult man-baby protagonist Nate on an adventure of (possibly) self-discovery, literally one step at a time. It’s got a fully simulated physics-based walking system and a “fully dynamic onesie soilage system”, and you’ll now be able to get your awkward totter on sometime next year.
Also careening beyond its previously announced 2024 release window is Stick it to the Stickman from Broforce studio Free Lives. This “groin-kicking, staple-gunning, chainsaw-wielding roguelike brawler” promises “high-impact, physics-based combat, copious amounts of coffee, and weaponized farts” – and while that’s probably an average morning for most people, Stick it to the Stickman’s take now won’t be available until 2025.
AND THE DELAYS KEEP COMING! Developer Sam Eng’s striking demonic skateboarding game Skate Story (which features music from New York experimental indie band Blood Cultures) continues its delay streak after missing its initial 2023 launch window with the news it’s now saying farewell to 2024 too. Skate Story – what with the pattern emerging here and everything – is now launching next year.
