Merge Games and Maple Powered Games are again delaying the release of Monster Harvest. It will now launch on August 31.
Speaking about the delay, Merge said the team encountered “one final development hurdle to jump over that didn’t quite work out and pushing back a little was necessary to deliver exactly what we want players to experience.”
The full statement reads as follows:
We are very sorry to announce that we are making the tough decision to move the release date back one final time, to August 31st.
We know you’ll be disappointed and we do not take these decisions lightly. There was one final development hurdle to jump over that didn’t quite work out and pushing back a little was necessary to deliver exactly what we want players to experience.
There’s a wonderful community that has sprouted up around Monster Harvest and we absolutely want to do right by the community, even when it means making what could be a disappointing decision.
The Steam demo is still there and available to play! Your progress in the demo will carry over to the full game, though you may want to consider starting fresh and taking advantage of any improvements and fixes added by that point.
Thank you so much for the continued support and your patience as we make sure Planimal Point is ready for your arrival!
Monster Harvest was first planned for release in May. We then saw delays to July and then August 19.
