'Skate Story' and four other Devolver games have been delayed to 2024<p>Call Devolver Digital whatever you want — except a liar. The indie publisher's inaugural Devolver Delayed showcase delivered on its promise, featuring five games whose release windows have been pushed out of 2023 and into 2024. Which, of course, kind of means Devolver was lying when it initially announced these games, but let's
live in the now.</p><p>So, here's the list of Devolver games that are now due out next year, minus the maniacal corporate joy that underpinned the actual showcase:
Skate Story,
The Plucky Squire,
Stick it to the Stickman,
Anger Foot and
Pepper Grinder.</p><span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><p>
Skate Story is the hardest delay to swallow, personally speaking. Developed by Sam Eng,
Skate Story is a highly stylized skateboarding game set in a dark, neon-streaked hellscape and starring a demon made of glass. It looks trippy and fast-paced, and I was very much looking forward to playing it this year. <a data-i13n="cpos:1;pos:1" href="

Skate Story[/url] is now coming to PC in 2024 and it's available to wishlist on Steam.</p><div id="fee2f37191544f318e9c2c602b73c0b2"><div style="left:0;width:100%;height:0;position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;"><iframe src="

Stick it to the Stickman and
Anger Foot are both products of Free Lives, the studio behind
Broforce,
Gorn and
Genital Jousting, and a longtime Devolver partner. Both <a data-i13n="cpos:2;pos:1" href="

are coming to PC next year and are available to wishlist right now.</p><p><a data-i13n="cpos:4;pos:1" href="

The Plucky Squire[/url] looks to be an extraordinarily cute platforming adventure that swaps between 2D and 3D visuals. This one comes from All Possible Futures and it's heading to PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Switch (in 2024, of course). Last on the delay list, <a data-i13n="cpos:5;pos:1" href="
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2076580/Pepper_Grinder/">
Pepper Grinder[/url] is a 2D platformer featuring a character with a big drill, and it's being developed by Oregon-based studio Ahr Ech for PC and Switch.</p><p>The Devolver Delayed showcase also provided some relief, in the end. A handful of the publisher's games have decidedly
not been delayed and are still targeting 2023 release windows, including
Gunbrella,
Wizard with a Gun,
KarmaZoo,
The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood and — most notably, in my book —
The Talos Principle II. A sequel to the 2014 award-winning game from Croteam, <a data-i13n="cpos:6;pos:1" href="
https://store.steampowered.com/app/835960/The_Talos_Principle_2/">
The Talos Principle II[/url] promises more first-person laser-based puzzles, philosophical pontification and existential dread, and it's all still coming out in 2023 for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.</p><p>
The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood is actually due out on August 16, just over one week from today. It's the latest game from Deconstructeam, the Spanish studio behind
Gods Will Be Watching and
The Red Strings Club, and the preview had me happily <a data-i13n="cpos:7;pos:1" href="
