Devolver Digital is a company with a grand sense of humor about itself and the gaming industry alone, and recently, they got to showcase that humor when it comes to announcing video game delays, via the first ever Devolver Delayed Showcase. In a quick three-minute video, the publisher announced what titles would now be moving to a 2024 release date, all in a presentation that satirized the style and tone of Nintendo Direct presentations to a perfect degree. As usual, you can check out the whole presentation below, in all its quick glory.

On the plus side, now they get to qualify for our list of 2024’s most anticipated games.

Not wanting to turn down a chance to promote every other upcoming game in their roster, though, the showcase also revealed that the following Devolver games are still currently set for a release later this year: Doinksoft’s parasol-armed noir medtroidavnia trip Gunbrella, PastaGames’ cozy animal-filled co-op platformer KarmaZoo, Galvanic Games’ fantasy Western sandbox survival game Wizard With a Gun,
