Goodbye Volcano High is now at a point where it's had more delays than trailers. Developer KO_OP has pushed the PS5, PS4 game back to 29th August 2023, having originally already delayed it a second time to next month. In a blog post on the team's official website, it's said the studio couldn't meet its June release date without "significant cuts to the quality and scope of the game. This would mean delivering something much different than what we’ve envisioned and worked toward."
The article continues: "Plus, we’re a studio that prides itself on avoiding crunch. Meeting our original launch date would require our team to work nights, weekends and early mornings to ship and risk burning people out." Originally confirmed all the way back during Sony's 2020 Future of Gaming Showcase, it's one of the last remaining titles yet to release along with Little Devil Inside.
KO_OP promises another demo for Goodbye Volcano High will be released in due course — hopefully, this one will be up on the PS Store. "GVH is a really special project for us and everyone on our team has done incredible work on this game. We need a bit more time to make sure all that work really shines!"
Are you happy to wait another few months for Goodbye Volcano High? Wait for the school bell to ring in the comments below.

Can anyone please tell me why people don’t like the look of this game? I don’t understand why people keep hating on it, even when it’s not out yet.
@JONOFTHEJONS Growing up during the DeviantArt days makes me want to hurl whenever I see vaguely fetishy anthropomorphic animals. Undertale was kinda the same. The actual story and all that seems alright in this game as well but the art hits a specific level of nope.
@JONOFTHEJONS It looks like an absolute waste of time. It's like they want it to be some edgy teen angst anime, but decided to move it to gaming... which in many people's opinions is the wrong medium for this.... project.
@nessisonett @Uncharted2007 I wasn’t wanting to play it, but thanks for telling me.
Man where's little devil inside? Game looks great
So we pretty much know the ending of this game? Everyone dies right?
I think this game looks pretty cool.
I always applaud developers that take their time to polish out the final product so I'm really excited to play this in 8k120fps. Anything less than that and it's goodbye volcano high for me
I'll always wait for queer content.
I bet it's a pain in the bum to put a bomber jacket on over your wings.
Probably the right decision! Glad the studio is committed to both quality and avoiding crunch. If the game turns out great, that's all that matters.
I'm glad a studio is really focused on releasing a game that's very polished and won't require lots of updates just to be acceptable, at the same time this doesn't exactly look like something that needs that kind of attention 😅
I don't even know what this game is? I can't even dislike it because I know so little of what it will actually be.
I want it to come out just so I don’t have to see it in another PS event.
@Americansamurai1 I dunno where it is but I also really want to play that game. Last I heard there was some problematic depictions of native cultures that needed changing. That doesn’t explain two years of silence though.
@IamJT hopefully it doesn't end up like deep down
Hoping they delay to swap out the awful GCSE furry character designs for something a little less cringe
@swagbag7 @johncalmc Depending on the price I may buy this day one.
Anything more than $30 and I'll be waiting for a 50% off sale.
I do not like the set up for this or the art style.
It just has deviant art written all over it.
@JONOFTHEJONS I'm guessing because they have a "furry" like look to them
