Post image Post image Hi! UNBEATABLE was supposed to come out tomorrow! 

Thatโ€™s a scary sentence. Hereโ€™s a worse one: UNBEATABLE will now release on December 9. 

I hate that I have to say this. Thereโ€™s no way to apologize for it that feels like enough. Iโ€™m personally sorry about this and I wish it was different.

WHY WOULD YOU ONLY TELL ME NOW?

Because the decision was only made a few hours ago. (No, really, Iโ€™m writing this right after the meeting where the decision was made).  We are telling you this as soon as we possibly can.

BUT WHY? THE GAMEโ€™S DONE, RIGHT?

Thereโ€™s a very boring and frustrating reason; QA hit a low-repro progression blocker last night thatโ€™s serious enough itโ€™s considered unreleasable. Fixing this would require pushing the console release date back because of cert timelines, and not fixing this is, well. We refuse to do that. Weโ€™re fixing it. 

BUT WHY NOT JUST DELAY THE RELEASE OF THE CONSOLE PORT?

Thatโ€™s very messy! Weโ€™d rather release the game all at once for everybody.

BUT WHY RELEASE ON DECEMBER 9? THATโ€™S A WHOLE MONTH AWAY

Another boring reason you can figure out pretty quickly by googling the phrase โ€œ2025 game release calendarโ€ and looking at whatโ€™s hitting this month. We had a pretty good spot on November 6 where we made a small little island for ourselves, and skipping that date necessarily means skipping forward a lot to find another island, and thatโ€™s the closest one we had. On the plus side, it gives us breathing room we didnโ€™t have before to do some pre-launch things we wanted to do that had to get pushed back because of finishing the game in time for, well, tomorrow.

โ€ฆBUT IS THE GAME GOOD?

Itโ€™s very good, and Iโ€™m very biased. Weโ€™ll see what reviewers think. But for those of you waiting the longest for this thing to come out, it makes me feel a bit crazy knowing how much you still donโ€™t know about whatโ€™s this thing is. Iโ€™m very excited about it. I wish it could have been tomorrow, but.

Thank you to everyone whoโ€™s rooted for us up until th
