As promised, quirkly indie game developer Devolver Digital posted a short "Devolver Delayed" video on its YouTube channel today. Made as a parody of the Nintendo Direct videos, Devolver Digital decided to have some fun while also announcing some games that were slated for a 2023 release, but are now due out in 2024.
The five games that were delayed are:
- The Plucky Squire - The cool-looking cartoony action adventure game from developer All Possible Futures (PC, Switch, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation)
- Stick It To The Stickman - A brawler with Hangman style stick figures from developer Free Lives (Windows and Mac)
- Skate Story - A skateboarding game with supernatural elements from developer Sam Eng (Windows and Mac)
- Anger Foot - A first-person shooter where your main weapon is your foot, from developer Free Lives (Windows and Mac)
- Pepper Grinder - An action-adventure game where you use a driller to find secrets from developer Ahr Ech (Windows and Switch)
The good news is that Devolver Digital fans will be able to get a lot of games for the rest of 2023. The video shows them off including:
- Gunbrella - Yes it"s about using a weaponized umbrella from developer Doinksoft (Windows and Switch)
- Wizard With A Gun - Yes, it"s about controlling a wizard with a gun from developer Galvanic Games (Windows, Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X/S)

- The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood - A narrative-driven game where you play as a witch (August 16 for Windows and Switch)
- Karmazoo - A co-op themed side scroller for developer PastaGames (Windows, Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X)
In addition, a DLC pack for the game McPixel 3 is due in 2023, and a big update to the Broforce game is coming tomorrow, August 8. While it wasn"t mentioned in the video, the historical strategy-sim game Stronghold: The Definite Edition will be released by Devolver Digital on October 8.
