Capybara Games Announces Below Delay
The developers of the hit Sword and Sorcery series, Capybara Games have announced a Below delay. Below is a top down, action adventure game which features a “creative take on roguelike gameplay “, along with exploration and perma-death.
In a blog post, Capybara Games explained the reason behind the Below delay, saying more time is needed to make the game to the standard they expect. This approach should mean a better experience in the end with more time being spent on development. Capybara Games has not announced how long this process will take. Making fans of Below wait for the foreseeable future.
“We told you BELOW would be out this summer. Our team worked hard to make that deadline a reality. But after a strong push, we’ve decided it isn’t ready.
We did a lot of soul searching. We knew we wanted to get it into your hands as soon as possible. We knew the game was there, and we’re super proud of it, but we also knew it needed more time to make sure it lives up to our studio’s standards, and the quality that you expect from our games. From the very beginning, BELOW has been our most ambitious undertaking, and we’re just not quite done excavating its depths, or polishing all of its facets.
Instead of giving you a new, loose release window, we will be going dark while we take the time that we need to complete BELOW without compromise. The next time you see a major BELOW update, that means our game has a firm release date, which we’ll share.
Making games is hard but rewarding work. Accepting, even after this long development, that the game needs more time is difficult, but it’s important that we are honest with ourselves as creators, and with you, the players.
We’re sorry we let you down with yet another delay. But in the end, we need to make certain that the hard work we’ve put into this game turns into something you’ll love, and to us that unfortunately means keeping BELOW in the oven a while longer, until it truly is ready.
Thanks for the continued support, and see you on the other side.”
