9, I have firsthand experience with developers not delivering. As someone who is still waiting for their Nintendo 3DS code for Mighty No. Considering how packed 2023 will be with similar games, Little Devil Inside will have to strategize its eventual release, if it's coming.īeing stuck in development limbo doesn't necessarily spell doom, but this wouldn't be the first time that a Kickstarter project vanishes into thin air. There are a few shots out there of its supernatural nature, with minimal aesthetics, as well as survival gameplay and roguelike elements. Now entering its 8th year of development, we still don't know enough about this gloomy action adventure's practical execution. We contacted developer Neostream for details at the end of last year, but haven't heard back from them, at the time of writing. It's safe to say that there won't be a Wii U version anymore. There is still a Nintendo Wii U logo on their page that's how far back we're going. For reference, Little Devil Inside originally launched as a Kickstarter protect, where it grossed just over $300,000 in funds. Previous dates include July 2021 and even further back in 2018. This is, however, not the first time that the game was a no-show. The last we heard of Little Devil Inside, its latest release date was shown on an Instagram post, of all things, where it stated a "Winter 2022" launch. Each time, the game remained vague about when it would materialize and it looks like this trend will continue, as the project has now slipped into 2023. You may remember the game being showcased on multiple occasions at game conferences. We will be announcing further plans and details as they become unlocked.The mysterious Little Devil Inside might be in hot waters. So to clarify, a release for PS5/PS4 and PC is our top priority with other console platforms to follow after the exclusivity period expires. This move DOES NOT affect our plans to release for PC and we will do our very best to release for PC at the same time as PS5. We have also received direct inquiries where many of you are confused about how this affects the release for PC. Unfortunately, we are not able to disclose the actual term of the exclusivity yet.Īs many of you know, we originally hoped for an all platform, concurrent release but for many reasons which we learned the hard way, this just was not possible. With the partnership in place with PlayStation, Little Devil Inside will be coming to the PlayStation 5 Systems (PS5) as a PlayStation "Timed" Exclusive title which means that the game will be available only on PS5 and no other consoles for a limited time, after which, it will be available on other consoles. If you want to wade into the full details of the messy situation, you can read the full message from the dev team below. The game can eventually hit other platforms, and those will be discussed at a later date. We know the Wii U wasn't going to happen anyway, but what about a Switch version? The developers took to their Kickstarter to explain the situation, and long story short, the PS5 version is a time-exclusive. So what on earth happened in the last few months? Somehow Sony nailed down console exclusivity for the PS5, meaning no other versions are coming anytime soon. After that, the devs showed interest in bringing the game to Switch. Believe it or not, the developer's original intention was to bring the game to Wii U. The game, which was just announced as PS5 exclusive, is actually a Kickstarter-backed project from years ago. Longtime readers of GoNintendo might recognize Little Devil Inside.
