The release has been pushed to 2027, with a demo planned at Gamescom including a first look on Switch 2. CCO and design director Matty McGrory says the studio's expanded portfolio of co-development work, including projects with Gorillaz's Kong Studios and Netflix Minigolf support for Next Games, has strengthened its position enough to fund the rest of development independently. The game will launch simultaneously on all platforms in 12 languages. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
