Early Access Launch of Black Skylands Has Been Delayed

After last week’s announcement of the game’s launch on June 11, Hungry Couch has announced its upcoming game Black Skylands has been slightly delayed. This comes after a short statement by the developer on the Steam news section regarding the delay and what we can expect next.

The developer has stated that the Black Skylands release has been slightly delayed after facing a number of unexpected challenges, forcing them to reconsider their 11^th June Early Access launch. As recently as last week, we announced that Black Skylands was going to be released on June 11. This news was met with excitement and approval by our community. Today we at Hungry Couch Games would like to share with you an update regarding the launch of our project.

After officially announcing the day on which the early access phase would start, we faced a number of unexpected challenges which made us reconsider our plans of shipping the game on the aforementioned date. A decision has been made to slightly delay the release of Black Skylands.

This decision, of course, wasn’t an easy one to make, especially considering the fact that the delay would be announced at such short notice. However, we believe this is an absolutely necessary measure for two major reasons:

1. We want you to experience the best possible version of Black Skylands when it enters early access. We need to address a couple of issues in order to achieve that;
2. Our team wants to be satisfied with the product we are offering to our player base. Unless we are, it means that all the work we have done has been in vain.

Whether your reaction to this announcement is frustration or approval, we fully understand it. We promise you that the delay is going to be very brief and a new release date will be announced soon. Until then, we will be doing our absolute best to improve the game as much as possible.

A new release date has not been announced, but with E3 just around the corner, we might get the release announcement coinciding with the biggest gaming event of the year.
