Garden Story pushes its harvest back to 2021

Published , by Ozzie Mejia

Garden Story has been one of the games to watch in the indie gaming scene recently. With a charming premise and colorful art style, it's looking like Rose City Games may have something special on its hands here. But special games can't be rushed, so the developer is going to take its time with this one. That means taking it out of the 2020 release timeframe and moving it back to next year.

Rose City Games made the announcement on Thursday morning, citing a desire to make Garden Story bigger and more adorable. They already look to be on their way, announcing a partnership with the team at Kowloon Nights. Kowloon Nights is the video game fund that seeks to assist aspiring indie developers and now they're looking to help Rose City with Garden Story.

To help make up for the delay, players can check out some new Garden Story footage in the trailer above. They can take a look at some new areas, new bosses, and more of Garden Story's dungeon crawling gameplay. The Rot is spreading across the island, as main character Concord looks to rebuild his world and unify everyone as the new Guardian of the Grove.

Let's look back at what we saw from PAX South:

Garden Story will now release in Spring 2021. Look for it to release on PC.
