Did game companies rush into Tetris on full-scale launch day? Once again, the news of adjusting the release date came from abroad.
Indie game developer Summerfall Studio announced on its official Twitter that it would delay the release of its new game, ‘Stray Gods: The Role-Playing Musical (hereinafter referred to as Stray Gods)’ by one week. Originally, the game was announced to be released on August 3, but it was delayed to August 10, which was delayed by a week.
The reason why the Stray Gods production team is adjusting the schedule is to avoid overlapping the release date with Baldur’s Gate 3. Originally, Baldur’s Gade 3 was scheduled to be released on August 31st. The PC version was pulled to August 3rd. Regarding this, Swen Vincke, CEO of Larian Studio, the developer of Baldur’s Gate 3, said in an interview with Kotaku, an overseas media outlet published on June 29 (local standard), that this year Zelda, Diablo, Starfield, Cyberpunk, It was explained that it was appropriate to pull it to ‘August 3’, which is very busy with Final Fantasy, playable, but not distracting. ▲ Notice of delay in the release of Stray Gods (Photo source: Summerfall Studios official Twitter) ▲ Baldur’s Gate 3 moved its official release date about a month earlier (Photo source: Steam)
The adjusted Baldur’s Gate 3 release date exactly coincides with Stray Gods’ original release date of August 3. In response, Summerfall Studio, which developed Stray Gods, said, “The production team is also looking forward to Baldur’s Gate 3, and we want to give those who are waiting for our game a chance to enjoy the game leisurely.” “Releasing a first game is a big deal for an indie game company,” he said, adding that the extra week gave them time to tinker with stability on all platforms the game comes out on. Stray Gods supports PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch.
On the other hand, Stray Gods is an RPG set in a world where modern and fantasy are combined. The main character, Grace, who dropped out of college, draws the story of finding the truth among the Greek gods. Received the power of a muse to uncover the truth about her predecessor’s death, Grace meets many people and finds the truth between conflicts and enmity. As you can see from the game’s subtitle, ‘The Role-Playing Musical’, it aims to provide an experience like watching a musical.
