As the game industry prepares for Geoff Keighley's annual smorgasbord of news from The Game Awards, Devolver Digital has decided it's not going to wait until next month. Today, the publisher released Devolver Delayed 2024, a tongue-in-cheek awards show recognizing three games that have been pushed to 2025: Baby Steps, Stick It To The Stickman, and Skate Story.
Each game's delay was announced as a specific "award" given to the game against other fictional nominees. Specifically, the awards were named as follows:
Best Inadvertent Tripping Simulator - Baby Steps
Best Late Stage Capitalism Roguelite - Stick It To The Stickman
Best Glass Demon In A Leading Role - Skate Story
The "awards ceremony" then proceeded to a fourth award, Best Color Version Of A Monochromatic Classic. The winner was the previously unknown Volvy's Adventure DX, with a brief gameplay teaser showing an 8-bit side-scrolling platformer starring Devolver's rat-like mascot.
