Goodbye Valcano High releases on PC, PS4, and PS5 on August 29th. Now after many sessions with the game, I can say I am dying to find out where this story goes. I especially took notice after it won the game award for the NY Tribeca Festival. Thank you so much for your understanding-we can’t wait for you to play what we’ve been working on.Through Steam Next Fest, PAX, and the Tribeca Games Festival, I have had plenty of opportunities to play parts of Goodbye Volcano High. Soon, we’ll be premiering another public demo and we hope you’ll all have the chance to check it out. We need a bit more time to make sure all that work really shines! We’ve been so honoured to hear such a positive response to our demo. Goodbye Volcano High is a really special project for us and everyone on our team has done incredible work on this game. I know this isn’t the easiest thing to hear-it is a difficult thing for us to do. This delay also moves our launch date out of a very busy June release calendar, opening us up to more incredible opportunities, and gives the game a greater chance of success.

Meeting our original launch date would require our team to work nights, weekends and early mornings to ship and risk burning people out. Plus, we’re a studio that prides itself on avoiding crunch. We don’t want to release anything less than the best version of the game we have been making throughout our development cycle. This would mean delivering something much different than what we’ve envisioned and worked toward.

The reality is that, with our current workload, we could not have met our June launch date without significant cuts to the quality and scope of the game. The game was originally announced all the way back during a PlayStation State Of Play presentation in June 2020.Ĭheck out the full message from KO_OP below: Goodbye Volcano High is described as a hybrid cinematic narrative/rhythm game/coming of age/interactive movie experience by the developers.

It is slated to release for the PS4, PS5 and PC via Steam. KO_OP has announced that they have delayed Goodbye Volcano High from its previously planned 15 June 2023 release date to 29 August 2023.
