KO_OP’s Goodbye Volcano High will now be released next year.

Announced today, the game is being delayed due to the current situation in the world today and their own decision to reboot the game’s narrative. A lengthy interview about rebooting the game can be seen here. In a joint statement, the team stated:

“In addition to Global Events™️, 2020 saw us rebooting the narrative of our game. Those two factors have delayed our release timeline. So we are making what we're sure is by now an expected announcement: Goodbye Volcano High will be a 2022 title, not a 2021 one.

It's been a really hard year for many reasons, and the mental and physical health of the team has to come first. We don't want to crunch, and we don't want to put ourselves in stressful situations to finish the game by 2021 when we can take a little more time. We love the community that we've fostered through developing Goodbye Volcano High, and we hope it isn't too much of a bummer to have to wait a little longer for the dino drama. Thank you to those who have been supporting us since day one and to those who have joined us along the way. We really appreciate you and your support. We love making this game and we're lucky we have a chance to make it!”

Featuring Lachlan Watson (The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina), Goodbye Volcano High follows Fang, who has to make the best out of things before the world (literally) explodes. The game will arrive on the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Steam.
