Initially slated for a 21st July release, Wayward Strand<\/a> has been delayed until later this year, as the team decides to focus on their health and happiness, and avoid crunch.<\/p>\n

Here’s a quote from Ghost Pattern Games on the delay, posted on their Steam page:<\/p>\n

\n

“This delay means we can release Wayward Strand at a level of quality that we’re very happy with. Importantly, it also allows us to do it in a less stressful way for the team. Wayward Strand is a game about care, and it would make no sense to make this game without caring for each other. From day one, we\u2019ve been rigorously committed to empathy, openness, and anti-crunch. Game releases are almost always stressful and difficult for the teams behind them, so we’re trying to find ways of approaching our release that reduce some of those pressures.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As the devs say in the quote above, Wayward Strand is a game all about caring for the elderly in a flying hospital \u2014 you can read our interview with the developers here<\/a> \u2014 so it makes sense that the delay is part of caring for people.<\/p>\n

The new release date for Wayward Strand is September 15, 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
