Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe Edition – the spruced up version of the spruced up version of everybody’s favourite comedic rumination on video game agency – has, not entirely unexpectedly given where we are in the year, been delayed yet again. However, there’s finally light at the end of the long, long tunnel in that it’s now expected to arrive “early” in 2022.
Stanley Parable’s Ultra Deluxe Edition was first announced back in 2018, with an anticipated launch of 2019. That, obviously, never came to pass, nor did it do so the following year or, as developers Galactic Cafe and Crows Crows Crows have now revealed, will it do so the year after that. “Hopefully when we all reconvene this time next year for our latest Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe Edition update,” I wrote after the game’s 2020 delay, “it’ll be to discuss how awesome this fully released thing is, and not to bow our heads as it’s jettisoned into the following year.” So, uh, sorry for jinxing it, I guess.
