Obduction gets a release date

It isn’t June, but I’ll take it. 😛

Cyan, Inc. the award-winning creators of Myst and Riven, today announced that Obduction, their highly-anticipated adventure game, will be launching simultaneously on PC, Mac and Oculus Rift, and will be available for download from Steam, GOG.com, Humble Store, Mac App Store, and the Oculus Store on July 26, 2016 for $29.99.

Cyan also released a Kickstarter update explaining why the delay:

• Fit and polish. That extra month gives us some quality time – to up the… quality – a good thing!
• Unreal Engine 4 updates. We don’t control these, and Epic just released a big new update that changes a few things.
• Oculus Rift VR version. This doesn’t affect everyone, but it helps us to tie everything into a larger launch event.
• Avoid industry noise. There are a few big industry things happening at the end of June that our small company doesn’t need to try to shout over.

I don’t mind the wait. Plenty of other stuff for me to do in the meantime…
