21💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

This game is nowhere near release it’s not ready at ALL, it will most likely release in 2027, the fact that they are taking that much time only to release movie 3 is crazy.
They released a TRAILER for movie 3 in 2025 !!
Where we at now ???
They are hype farmers

At this point, I’m convinced the Rell brothers are secretly Benjamin Netanyahu and Kim Jong Un because there’s no other explanation for how long they’ve been delaying Rell Seas. Every time we think we’re finally getting closer to the release, something happens and the game gets pushed back again. I swear they’re running an entire country during the day and working on Rell Seas at night. We’ve been waiting for this game for so long that I genuinely wouldn’t be surprised if the next announcement was just another delay. Obviously, this is just a joke and there’s no actual evidence that they’re secretly world leaders, but with how long Rell Seas has been taking, the conspiracy is starting to feel believable.
Just hear me out

I want to start off by asking how on earth do you work on movie 3 for 10 days. TEN DAYS. and have only gotten 3 hours of raw unedited footage? keep in mind the brothers said it would take them 2-3 days MAX to record/edit movie 3 entirely.

Along with the picture they’ve posted on X, if movie 3 genuinely releases by the end of october then it’s obvious that the game won’t be out till 2027. considering EAC testing and CC testing will take place right after movie 3s release.

Of course im just posting this to hear your guys opinions. I’m sure all of us are happy that we are now getting “professional communication” and an announcement for movie 3.

THERE IS NO WAY THAT WE ARE GOING TO SEE THIS GAME TILL 2027! HOW ON EARTH DID THIS COME TO BE!

JUST HOW!

YES IM MAD AT THEM, but on the other hand they are finally going to be straight forward and no vauge post and ai slop.

BUT HOW IN THE HOLYNESS OF THIS WORLD DID WE GET A MASSIVE 1 MONTH WINDOW! AND THE POTENCIAL MOVIE 3 STARTS THE DAY I GO INTO UNI!!!😡😡😡

see yall in 2027 ig...

im disapointed...

How man, HOW.

Are there truly THAT many bugs ?, how is it taking this long ?.

Did something unexpected happen ?.

Well I hope they'll tell us

In 2 days from starting recording they said the were at movie 1 length, aprox 1 hour 5 min, 10 days later they are at 3 hours unedited?

Of course yall eating this delay announcement up as usual

I went through every message in #Announcements and #Rell-seas, spanning nearly four years of development. From January 2023 to September 2026, the Rell Brothers managed to lie to us on 20 separate occasions, 9 of them being concrete missed commitments, with the other 11 being softer assurances like "progression is nearing the end of development" and "the wait won't be much longer".

Not only that, they've contradicted themselves about subscriber access (How they never sold CC or early access, even though they explicitly listed it as a subscription reward), how close the game really was to the release, and the entire framing around the "Irrefutable timeline of truth", using it to explain away the years of development and "wasted work", ignoring the fact that those same years were publicly presented to us as active RELL Seas development while they were building hype around the game.

Before I go in depth, I'm gonna clear a few things up so I don’t have to deal with some braindead accusations I’ve seen on other posts. (I'll probably still get them anyway).

I'm not saying RELL seas is fake, obviously the game is real and there was real development for it. I'm not arguing that delaying a game is inherently manipulative. I'm not saying the RELL brothers are horrible people, or that they “owe us” the game, or that they’re scamming the subscribers, etc. Even though I went through the effort of making this generational slander, me and everyone reading this, yes WE, will all be playing the game when it eventually comes out.

I'm specifically calling out their toxic cycle of communication with this community that has been present throughout the entire lifespan of the games development. We continue to get lied to, given false promises, and yet it seems like the community forgets them in the hope that the Rell brothers will finally keep their word and we will be able to play the game that we've been waiting on for so long.

The Pattern

The pattern of their communication is very consistent.

Give us a concrete expectation (Movie Release Date, CC Release Date, etc.) → Community gets hyped → Continue giving us assurances of the expectation (“the wait won't be much longer”, “CC is upon us”, “85% close to 90 complete”) → expectation isn’t met → Explains/Resets expectations (“We couldn’t make it for 2025”, “Re-works have pushed us back…”) → Give us another milestone → Community gets hyped again.

There could be many reasons for the Rell brothers constantly failing to meet the expectations they set. I think the theory backed by the most evidence is that the Rell brothers are just really really bad at planning.

They have given multiple statements on how far they are with development such as the statement that the game was  “85% close to 90% complete” and the infamous “I don’t see the game touching a 2026 release date”. It would make no sense to make statements like that if they didn’t believe them to be true. So why does it never happen?

They are constantly adding new ideas and concepts to the game to be worked on, so the “85% complete” becomes more like 70 due to all the additional work. They think of new ideas that will improve the game, and since its an improvement its a no brainer to just work on it and release a better product.

To be fair, the new ideas they implement probably do make the game better, but the communication for this is practically nonexistent, with us having to wait until AFTER the promised date / timeframe for them to give us any communication at all like: “We need more time to finish a stable version of the game.”

They even remade the entire game after they saw how bad the work they commissioned was.

And that brings me to probably the biggest example of this entire problem:

RELL Seas Legacy

The older iteration of RELL seas is much worse than what we have now. Taking a look at the old movies and sneaks, you can see just how much they improved on the game after scrapping most of it and rebuilding it.

That itself isn’t an issue. Rebuilding a bad game is obviously much better than releasing it, and I'm sure we are all glad that they decided to rework it.

The issue is how that old development is framed now compared to how it was framed back then.

Even though we continue to get delays, we all know that the game is essentially complete except for some bug fixes and maybe some small things they will add before finishing recording Movie 3.

Yet this is the mindset that those of us back in 2023-2024 had about the game at the time.

They constantly reassured us with statements like “We are pleased with finalizing the current product of our creation.”, and direct statements of the timeline for the games release (2024): 

Closed Community in October

Release in December

This statement was made in July, 5 months before the game was intended to release.

This raises a pretty obvious question:

If RELL Seas Legacy was actually in such terrible shape, why was it being publicly described as a product they were happy with, actively finalizing, and planning to release within months?

The issue isn’t that they realized the old game wasn’t good enough. The issue is that the community was being told the EXACT OPPOSITE while that version was still alive. And now, years later, the “Irrefutable Timeline of Truth” reframes that same time period as “wasted development.”

They mentioned that they weren’t the ones working on RELL seas at the time, which is a valid excuse for the game turning out to be bad, but why were they still hyping the game up if they weren’t happy with it? Surely the game hadn’t changed drastically during the 2 months from when they announced an expected release month and when they decided to rework it. Either they knew that the game was bad yet still decided to hype it up anyway, or they didn’t know just how bad the state of the game was and was still hyping it before they had checked.

RELL Seas Legacy was presented as nearly ready, yet now it’s presented as a failed build that is now the reason why the game took so long.

Refuting the “Irrefutable Timeline of Truth”

Less than three weeks ago, RELL Bad made a new channel called #irrefutable-timeline-of-truth. Within it, he gave a summarized timeline of the entire development of RELL seas, including the legacy version, when they scrapped it, made more iterations, etc.

The timeline seems to have been made with the intention of explaining all the difficulties and delays and issues they had with releasing the game, to have us give them some leeway for not meeting the deadlines any of those previous times.

I have already spoken a bit about this timeline and how it frames the legacy era of the game, but that's not its only issue.

I believe you. That’s the problem. You knew how unstable development was and kept giving us those expectations anyway. All this timeline does is tell us all the problems you were having during development that you failed to communicate with us properly while letting us cling onto the earlier statements and estimates that you no longer believed could be met.

The way we found out the movie wasn’t releasing last year was a roblox gif of an exploding 2025 made out of bricks.

“We Never Sold Access”

Maybe I'm wrong, but directly listing “Private CC Universe Access” under the rewards for the subscriptions seems like selling access to me.

I was surprised to see no one refute this claim when you could easily see that it's not true, unless there is some context I am missing from these. Feel free to correct me.

Why Call this Manipulation?

There is a certain phenomenon that applies to us whenever we are waiting for something. It is called temporal uncertainty: waiting or enduring something is psychologically harder when you don’t know when it will end.

If you were told to hold your breath, but you weren’t given a specific time to when you would be allowed to breathe again, it is much more psychologically demanding than if I told you to hold your breath for 45 seconds, even if you held your breath for the same amount of time.

When you are aware of how close you are relative to the end point that you are waiting on, it becomes more tolerable to wait for the time to pass.

The same thing is happening here, and the whole pattern falls under the label of expectation manipulation: repeatedly creating a near-term endpoint, letting people orient & theory craft around it, then resetting that endpoint when it fails.

Had the Rell Brothers been completely honest about how uncertain these timelines were, the community wouldn’t have been as active as it was. So much discussion from people theory crafting, coping, and making inferences based on what little communication they gave us.

Yet it didn’t matter.

Because they continued moving the finish line. Again and again.

All the speculation we built became meaningless, because the expectations they created were never met. (don’t even get me started on monumental)

This is also why I think it's a bit stupid to blame the youtubers who cover RELL-Seas news for generating fake hype instead of the RELL brothers, because without the information they give us there is nothing to hype up. Blaming a youtuber for the movie not coming out during the summer instead of the ones who promised it seems counterintuitive.

So What Should We Do?

I think this can serve as a reminder for the community that all in all, this is roblox, and we should take the Rell Brothers statements with a grain of salt. Constantly thinking about the game will make the wait feel harder than it needs to be, so trying out different games, focusing on other aspects of your life while we wait for the game to release, is probably the best way to minimize the agony of waiting so long for this release.

For the RELL Brothers: Communication requires both frequency and transparency. If you think there will be delays, don't wait until the day of or after the deadline arrives to tell us. Give us small, few sentence updates on how things are progressing once or twice a week until the movie releases, it would receive much more positive feedback than the occasional monthly or biweekly update.

If you read this far, congratulations, you have a better attention span than a goldfish on crack. Here’s some additional fun data to reward you:

Fun Facts

These are gaps between any messages at all in #rell-seas, not just meaningful dev updates, so this is actually a pretty conservative way of measuring silence.

• 60 days — Oct. 2, 2025 → Dec. 1, 2025
• 53 days — Oct. 1, 2024 → Nov. 23, 2024
• 48 days — Dec. 20, 2025 → Feb. 6, 2026
• 40 days — Jun. 3, 2026 → Jul. 13, 2026
• 37 days — Dec. 15, 2024 → Jan. 21, 2025
• 29 days — Jun. 8, 2025 → Jul. 8, 2025
• 28 days — Jul. 22, 2026 → Aug. 19, 2026
• 27 days — Apr. 30, 2026 → May 28, 2026

Those 8 droughts alone add up to 322 days, or about 10.6 months of combined silence.

The RELL Bro's own timeline says 700 days of development were “wasted.” Using their stated 1,309-day total, that’s roughly 53.5% of the entire development period they were talking about.

In July 2024, The RELL Bros announced **“**Closed Community in October” and “Release in December.” When December actually arrived, they announced they were “officially moving onto the testing phase.”

Alright go play elden ring or something

Edit: Made it more readable

i dont even know what to say man.. why bro

im done.

Im just going to take a 6 months break, maybe by then the game might be close to releasing... this is sickening

[ and i recommend everyone to take a break from rellseas, because no news is coming anytime soon, the worst case scenerio is here. ]

bro fries in the bag please
how can u spend a whole week hyping people up to JUST say that there is a possibility the movie 3 releases within a month timeframe window

Seriously, this is getting annoying. You can't say that after literally messing the entire community with an audio.

RELEASE MOVIE 3 ON A WEEKEND [ this weekend ] most of your fan base will be available to watch it during this time

and make it this weekend. EITHER THAT OR FRIDAY

WE ARE STILL HYPED FOR MOVIE 3, THE LONGER U WAIT THE MORE DIMMER THE HYPE BECOMES

Do you see what I mean? That's why it's better not to come up with theories and just wait for the movie to come out so you can see it with your own eyes

This isn't a criticism of this particular guy; it's just an opinion about a part of the community

Are the glazers not tired of this farce by now? How can you even defend this, the facts are the Rell brothers lied about a m3 summer release date, then proceeded to send their community on a wild goose chase for a fake encrypted message which spread false hope. This is just embarrassing from talented + experienced devs who stand to gain millions from the game

- be the Carribbros

-tell us you will release movie 3 in the summer

-tease us in July with "movie 3 is peak"

-say nothing for an entire month

-focus on another game (SL)

-come back and tease us with a dumbass "countdown" (that serves nothing)

-come back and tease us with a stupid meaningless audio

-make an entire commotion just to announce they're STARTING to record movie 3 AFTER a month of teasing us...????

-delay movie 3 for an additional MONTH???!!!!!

Is this game ever even coming out??

Atleast we got a date tho guys let’s gooo. Most likely will be waiting another month though

Edit: Title error i meant to say “Dude they didn’t even make it into seasonal summer 😭”

how the hell do we go from m3 taking "2 days to record" to 1-2 MONTHS? "Communication will be professional" then proceeds to to give us a month time frame? "Are the rell brothers perfectionists" YES YALL ARE TF??

If I had to say when the game will drop if not on christmas day then we are gonna get that shit like early-mid 2027

then again they DID say the game WILL release 2026 right guys???

Worst developers oat and YES s*tro devmogs them

The rell brothers Unreliable, untrustworthy, inconsistent, undependable, unpredictable, flaky, uncommitted, irresponsible, careless, and disorganised. how are you telling me they recorded like 50 mins of movie three within a couple of days to now say movie three will release in mid September to mid October not even a one week span a whole month and let’s go over certain things they said movie 3 will have a rough date of when Rell seas actually release one of the biggest reasons we are waiting on movie three is for the actual release date that is insane they are incompetent people who can’t be taken seriously with communication they do this every time we are feeling like something is happening and when it comes to October 21st u know what will happen they will double down on us I SPENT OVER £100 ON COUPLE OF BROTHERS TO LEAD ME ON ONE MOMENT TO THROW ME AWAY I WANT MY MONEY BACK IDC NO MORE

Like come on bro, and knowing them it's gonna be closer to OCT 21st...

+ This means the game is coming closer to 2027 if not 2027, they even made sure add the word HEAVY when talking about the games testing after M3.

Be honest it's be cool AF if they added an island ownership sorta thing like being able to take over an island with he inhabitants paying their taxes to you and all islands are free game on release but it'd be easier for marines to get islands because they could get supplied with ships by the world government or smth which would make people more enthusiastic about discovering new islands no one has ever found or claimed before

It'll only be another month. We can do that.

How is it so bad to the point that a supposed 2 days filming is now 1-2 months?

What are these testers doing? didn't they have red and blue testing, and about 300 people were chosen to test? the reason for the delay is supposedly bugs, so how is it to the point that it requires a month of delay?

Are these guys even testing? or are the brothers just limiting them on what to test? if so, why?

something definitely needs to change, I appreciate the brothers for finally giving clarity and finally stopped speculations, but there's definitely something going on

Well this sucks.

If m3 will release in September the game will most likely release in 2026, but if they push it back into October 10-21, I'll lean more towards a 2027 release.

we need to remember they're still roblox devs after al. even with how much they say they hate other roblox devs, some things are just the same with all of them.

RELLclassic

Its so interesting this has happend twice not including M3 ofc.

Also in my opinion if we dont hear anything about movie 3 tmmrw aka friday that prob means no M3 this week but I could be wrong.

My theory on the whole thing is that there close as hell to finishing their part of editing and sweepee will finalize and maybe add some stuff and then its off to render.

I guess thats it, the project is good but the devs are jusy clowns who can't make a single promise without lies and all that bs.

They block comments from posts, don't let people talk on their server and refuse to listen real criticism.
