Community Update: Release date change
Hi everyone,
Firstly, thank you so much for your ongoing support, especially those of you who have been here over the years. We really appreciate you bearing with us while we work on our game.
That being said, we have an update about our release date. We're so close to the launch of Gestalt: Steam & Cinder, but we’re going to have to ask for a little more time.
This has been a difficult decision to make, but what we thought would be our last round of testing has raised some unforeseen issues which we need a few extra weeks to iron out before launch. As a result, we’re moving the release date back to 16th July to deliver the very best version of the game that we can.
Apologies that this isn't the news you would have wanted to hear, and we know this will be frustrating to some of you, but we want everyone to experience the game in the best possible way. We are so thankful for your continued patience - we're almost there!
If you have any questions do let us know, but please rest assured we are working really hard to get Gestalt: Steam & Cinder into your hands.
Thanks again and talk soon,
Metamorphosis Games
