Dino drama receives a full narrative overhaul
Canadian indie outfit KO_OP has announced that the hip-lookingGoodbye Volcano Highwill unfortunately no longer be arriving in 2021. The high school dino drama has been hit with a delay, and is now expected to arrive on PlayStation and PC platforms in 2022.
Originally revealedin the summer of 2020,Goodbye Volcano Highpromises to deliver all the chaos, stress, soul-searching, and angst of everybody’s high school years, delivered via the medium of a party of trendy ‘n’ scaly dinosaur kids. As you can see from the trailer above, it looks to be a very dramatic and evocative adventure, and I’m certainly left unnerved by the logo’s ominous use of what appears to be a devastating meteor… Here’s hoping our guys ‘n’ gals make it to graduation.
The development ofGoodbye Volcano Highhas met hurdles due to the effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the game’s narrative was recently overhauled by the talented writers ofSweet Baby Inc., whose story work has featured in a wide variety of games ranging from indie hits such asNeo Cabto big-budget blockbusters like Ubisoft’sAssassin’s Creed Valhalla. While the delay will come as a frustration to both developers and fans alike, games such asGoodbye Volcano Highoften live and die on their storytelling, and thus it is comforting to see KO_OP dedicate time and energy to ensuring the narrative will be one for the ages… Jurassic or otherwise.
Goodbye Volcano Highlaunches on PS4, PS5, and PC in 2022.
