The turn-based tactics and occult school life of Demonschool are taking a little extra time. Today, developer Necrosoft Games announced that Demonschool is moving to a Q2 2024 release window.
Previously set for 2023, the studio says it’s taking more time to put everything together. “We’re trying to make this thing as good as we possible can, and it needed a little more time in the oven,” reads a statement from Necrosoft Games on Twitter. “But it’ll be worth it! Please wishlist on steeeeeeam!”
The news arrives alongside a new trailer, shown at today’s PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted 2023 showcase. The trailer features a good look at the mechanics of its turn-based tactics, as well as some glimpses of different characters that will be in your party.
School’s out for demons
Demonschool is a pretty rad-looking tactics RPG, from the team behind games like Hyper Gunsport. It’s been on our radar for some time, and made a strong impression when I got the chance to demo it at PAX East this year.
The story follows Faye, who’s attending a university while also getting involved in a ton of occult and supernatural happenings. Between the turn-based battles, you can also wander around, pick up quests, and chat up other people.
It’s really neat, and despite dashing my hopes for a last-second end-of-year surprise, I hope the extra time in the oven helps Demonschool shine. In an increasingly crowded 2024, this is still one of my more anticipated games. Definitely one for the indie and tactics crowds to keep an eye on.
Demonschool is currently planned for Q2 2024 on PC via Steam.
