It has been a while since we last heard any news for Xbox’s console exclusive The Gunk — which, in a year full of bad news, only made people worry about a potential delay. But fear not: it seems the game is still releasing this year after all!
In a reply to Twitter user @blackheartJV, developer and publisher Thunderful Games confirmed that the game is still slated for this year. Not only that, but we should be getting more info really soon!
Developed by the same studio that brought to life the indie classic SteamWorld Dig, The Gunk was announced as a 2021 title during last year’s Xbox Games Showcase — and, like so many games out there, it is releasing straight into the Game Pass catalogue.
From the creators of SteamWorld, embark on an all-new adventure in a vast and alien world where you’ll encounter terrifying enemies and challenging puzzles on your quest to unravel the mystery of a forgotten planet, while saving it in the process.
Oh wow. I would think that next week will confirm it if that’s still the case. If it was, it’s odd that they haven’t announced it yet since it’s 5 weeks away. A week from now, we should know for sure.
Ah thanks, great to have a confirmation for this year. It was one of the games I was eagerly dying to play. Metroidvania is my jam. Base on their previous games I can trust Image & Form devs.
It’s common for publishers to send press material to the media with an estimated release date that never gets announced. That was also the case with all those Prime Matter and Nacon games announced recently.
With that said, that September estimate is a year old and might have changed
I called it that it would appear at gamescom if it would still release this year I think next month or December with October and November way too packed for it releasing
