Devolver Digital, a publisher known for its unique and innovative games, has announced that it will be hosting a showcase event called “Devolver Delayed Showcase 2023 – 2024 Edition.” The event is set to be streamed on August 8, 2023, at 0:00 Japan time. As the title suggests, the showcase will focus on announcing delayed game titles.
Game delays have become a common occurrence in the Western gaming industry, to the point where Valve’s developer community has a self-deprecating page called “Valve Time,” which highlights the disparity between game announcements and actual release dates.
While Devolver Digital claims that this showcase will be the first of its kind, it remains to be seen what exactly the event will entail. In the past, the publisher has held “new game announcement” events coinciding with E3, but the specifics of this showcase are still unknown.
Some of the titles expected to be featured in the showcase include “Skate Story,” a stylish skateboarding action game, ”The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood,” a game about a witch exiled to an asteroid on a journey of self-discovery (set to release on August 17), “Wizard with a Gun,” a survival action game with anime-inspired graphics, “The Talos Principle 2,” a highly anticipated sequel, and “Pepper Grinder,” a pixel art platformer. The showcase is said to focus on games that are scheduled for release next year, so titles like “Human Fall Flat 2” with an undisclosed release date and “Baby Steps” set for 2024 should be safe.
The showcase is expected to be a short event, lasting only a few minutes. While some may question the need for a separate event for delayed games, fans of Devolver Digital’s work will surely want to tune in and see what the publisher has in store.
What can fans expect from Devolver Digital’s “Devolver Delayed Showcase 2023 – 2024 Edition” in terms of the highly-anticipated game titles that have experienced delays?

While Devolver Digital claims that this showcase will be a trailblazing event, the exact details and surprises it holds are shrouded in mystery.

The showcase will primarily focus on games slated for release in the coming year, leaving titles like “Human Fall Flat 2″ with its mysterious release date and ”Baby Steps,” a project set to launch in 2024, presumably untouched.
As a relatively brief event spanning just a few minutes, some may question the need for a dedicated showcase solely for delayed games. However, those familiar with Devolver Digital’s extraordinary body of work will undoubtedly be eager to tune in and discover what surprises the publisher has in store. So mark your calendars, gaming enthusiasts, because August 8th promises to be an eventful day filled with exciting announcements and insights into the future of Devolver Digital’s game catalogue.
