Monster Boy Release Date delayed to December 4
Dear Friends, Fans and Followers,
this is a difficult one..
Unfortunately the production of the physical card/disc package ran into unforeseen difficulties. This forces us to reschedule the release once again, we're very sorry about that. It turned out that the physical goods manufacturing takes longer than initially planned and we could only choose between rushing out in time or complete the Day-1 edition properly with keeping our promises of its content.
There was no question: we're now reaching a 5 year production cycle of Monster Boy and it didn't make sense to us to have an incomplete physical release so we decided to give the manufacturing process more time so the physical release can shine as the game itself. So much polishing, so much work - we don't want to see a half-baked physical release.

We learned about the production difficulties yesterday so you can imagine that we had a very hectic 24 hours window to look for a new release date. The next possible and also reasonable date was December 4 so we reserved that one right away. Please understand that digital and physical release are tightly linked to each other so this means the game release will take place on December 4 for both digital and physical release. Again, we're very sorry for the short notice and we can understand that this is gut punching news for some of you but there was no other way. We also wanted to let you know as quickly as possible. Thank you for your understanding.

You'll still receive all the goods in the physical package

Was SO suspicious the game was in the E-Shop yet...
I want this game to play it 1 month before Super Smash Bros Ultimate launches on Switch 6th November, and now ANOTHER delay?!, the third just this year...
Sorry, but unless you do a physichal release on Europe of this game, I just wait to this game gets a Sale on Switch, sorry, but you deserve this, you can't play with the wishful thinking of the people like me

I'm really looking forward to play your game, take all the time you need to make it the greatest, the one you're proud to play and deliver to us
I wish more devellopers/publishers had the same moral and quality awareness like you, than there basic standard commercial view, rushing the game thinking they will sell more copies.

Could you explain us how the 2 different releases are "tightly linked together"? To me you're just doing that to avoid people canceling the physical preorder and get the digital one instead... unless you can provide a clearer explanation (not that you need to do that obviously, but it would still be nicer than just saying they're tightly linked)

Moving on to NG+ in XC2 for now then

"Sorry friends, we won't make it in 2015. :/ Monster Boy needs more time and we agreed to give it the polishing it deserves. This means the release has to move to 2016. "
Ramrod on :
My question is: Do you already have a patch planned? If yes, what will it do?
Thanks!

Someone should have followed the production at close range so to avoid these things...
And on top you can't release the digital edition... Others games have done it.. digital first... Physical later on...
Really disappointed here..

I stated something similar on Facebook regarding this but I would much rather the game be delayed and have a product that I will be truly happy with and enjoy rather than a product that may be incomplete because either was rushed. We fell for this pressure from our customers and there were some things I wished we could have fixed before release. I think in the end, everyone will be glad that they had to wait for Monster Boy after they experience it. I have 100% faith that this game will be great and stand behind your decision all the way. Good luck fellas!

I am very sad to read this.
I am from Germany and because of problems with the US physically Edition we in Europe have to wait another full month? In which universe does this makes sense?
We will never get a physically Edition so why do we have to wait?
What Bonus does the European People get? Discounts? Extra Content? I am sure you're planing something to keep us satisfied...
Best regards
Stefan

Can you get some gameplay videos up? It seems all we have to go by is the demo which must be 2-3 years old now.

I understand that the game is complete and that it is made with tons of love and care put by the developers. Really excited for this. Maybe one of the highly anticipated titles of the past couple years in my book.
Olivier on :
Selon moi, la vraie raison, c'est que vous vous êtes dit que la sortie du RED DEAD REVOLVER 2 (le 26.10.18) allait vous faire mal et vous avez raison.
Le décaler d'un mois vous laisse potentiellement des ventes en plus.

Sorry, but this is bullshit and offensive. I was already angry for being excluded from having a physical copy, and now you are pissing on the wound.
I am not buying a game from a company that treats us as a second class.
