No, I\u2019m serious. This isn\u2019t a trick to the level you\u2019d see in The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe<\/em>; the story-based games comprised of choices and decisions has a new release date of early 2022. Allegedly, anyway, this expanded version of The Stanley Parable<\/em> was announced all the way back in 2018<\/a>. During that year\u2019s The Game Awards, the expanded game would get a release date of 2019. But then it was pushed to 2020, which also didn\u2019t really happen.<\/p>\n

Many fans have probably asked the question: where exactly did The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe<\/em> game go, and what\u2019s the true release date? Well, a new trailer by the developers seeks to answer that question, with a little bit of self-deprecation to help appease the fans. In the video, it states: \u201cWhat does it mean to be a videogame developer? It means lying, boldly and brazenly to your audience, promising them release dates that are wildly outside the realm of reality.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s finally coming! I think<\/h2>\n

The trailer then proceeds to promise a final release date for The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe<\/em> for early 2022. The game is now reportedly \u201ccontent complete\u201d and is preparing for a release on PC. Okay, so, it appears the content is finished. There\u2019s no way they can mess it up this time, right? (While I do notice there still isn\u2019t a solid release date, and just early 2022, I choose to be an optimist and think this is actually happening.)<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re wondering why this game has taken so long to develop,\u201d wrote Davey Wreden on Twitter<\/a>, \u201cthe script for new Ultra Deluxe<\/em> content is actually LONGER than the script for the original game.\u201d While the original game\u2019s story will remain as it was, additional choices, secrets, endings, and so on have been added around it. Wreden went on to explain, \u201cIt\u2019s different than the original Stanley Parable<\/em>, sort of. We wanted even veterans of the game to feel surprised. I\u2019m glad we took this path.\u201d<\/p>\n

For now, I\u2019ll wishlist the game and keep my fingers crossed. It\u2019s happening! I think.<\/p>\n
