Montreal, Canada, 29 April 2024 – Venture to the Vile will now launch two weeks later than expected, Studio Cut to Bits announced today. The Victorian-inspired metroidvania will launch on Steam on May 22 for $24.99, with a PlayStation 4/5 release coming later in 2024.

 
“Studio Cut to Bits was founded by industry veterans but this is our first time releasing a game as indie developers. As we approach release we have encountered some unanticipated hurdles.  We all love Venture to the Vile and want to make sure we are delivering the best possible game we can for our players” said Masao Kobayashi, Producer on Venture to the Vile. “For this reason, we have decided to delay our game by two weeks. I’m sorry to those who have been anticipating our game but I assure you it is going to be worth the wait.”
