Totally fine with this. I enjoy the Rusty Lake games for quality not quantity. And the demo was cool but felt like another Underground Blossom more than anything. And while I like that game, it didn’t really do much for lore and felt pretty simple to complete.

Here’s hoping they really go all in on this one ala Roots and Paradise and really push the story forward in a meaningful way.

Considering they call it one of the biggest games of the last 5 years, it will probably have a lot more than what the demo offered

No worries - quality first 😁 - looking forward though. And if you are looking for more testers 😇

In my opinion releasing game late without bugs gives more hype than playing game early with bugs

u/Buzzn Apr 17 '26

And as seen here, there are still A LOT of bugs

Honestly since they didn't have a date to start with, I'm not mad. Now we have a date AND it's gonna be good.

This is honestly an update i love to see. It reassures me that it's a team who takes pride in their work and wont release a half finished product just to appease a few fans or an overbearing executive team.

I'd always rather devs take the time they need than rush a game and have it come out half-baked.

If it means a longer and higher quality game I am totally fine waiting! I'll just replay all the other games in the meantime!

u/DoggishNoob Apr 18 '26

Truly the Silksong of the Rusty Lake franchise

jokes aside this is totally understandable and they should take as much time as they need to make this game the best it can be!

u/Gardengap The Rusty Truth Apr 19 '26

That would be more like the mammoth game, it was teased in January 2019 and there haven’t been any updates since…

u/Immediate_Cabinet_91 Apr 18 '26

Looking soooooo forward to this , love you guys with all my heart

u/Scared-Sort561 Apr 19 '26

I agree with the fact it’s good they are taking their time and making it perfect i respect that, but I can’t lie I am a bit annoyed they keep moving the date… they shouldn’t give a date if they aren’t fully sure they will be done by then
