Baby Steps, a game that has captured interest with its quirky concept, is now set to release in 2025 instead of the initially planned date. This delay was humorously highlighted in Devolver Digital’s annual Delayed Awards, where the company lists its games facing postponement.
For those familiar with Devolver Digital, you might recognize them for their unconventional yet captivating games like Hotline Miami, Wizard with a Gun, Enter the Gungeon, and Cult of the Lamb. Their freshly announced title, originally revealed in June 2023, seems to have stirred curiosity among fans, who unfortunately have to exercise patience until its delayed release.
Among the titles caught up in the amusing Delayed Awards of 2024 is Baby Steps. Crafted by a small team, including the well-known creator of Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy, Baby Steps invites players to step into the shoes of an “unemployed failson” who is finally stepping out into the world, moving cautiously one foot at a time. This game is intentionally designed with challenging controls, reminiscent of titles like Getting Over It and Octodad, promising a mix of difficulty and comedic relief. Although players were eager to dive into this offbeat experience in 2024, they’re now looking at a 2025 launch.
The game’s official page on Devolver Digital’s site touts features like “fully-simulated physics-based walking,” an engaging soundtrack, and an explorative environment layered with non-collectible hats and a peculiar “fully dynamic onesie soilage system.” Early trailers showcase a hilariously unserious hero and game mechanics that align with other beloved, humor-filled simulators. While we weren’t given explicit reasons for the delay, fans are optimistic that the extra time will enhance the game’s unique charm by its new release date.
Alongside other anticipated titles like Kingdom Hearts, which also faces a release setback, Baby Steps adopt a lighthearted approach to the waiting game through Devolver’s cheeky Delayed Awards. Fans are encouraged to stay alert for any official announcements from Devolver Digital regarding its updated timeline.
