Into The Unwell Delayed to Twenty Twenty Seven Because of a Stack of Beers

Coffee Stain Publishing and the studio She Was Such A Good Horse have announced a significant delay for their cooperative rogue-lite Into The Unwell. The game, which was set to launch in early access during 2026, will now arrive as a full title in 2027 for PC via Steam. The news has taken the project's followers by surprise.

The team has decided to skip the early access phase to focus on polishing the cooperative experience and procedural level generation. According to creative director Marten Stockhaus, this decision allows for implementing a more robust progression system and a varied bestiary without the limitations of a partial release. The graphics engine used will support dynamic lighting effects and destructible physics, key elements for the title's frenetic action.

Stockhaus joked in a statement about the reason for the delay: during the celebration of Vaffeldagen, an important Swedish holiday, he tripped over a stack of beer cans and broke the early access disc. An excuse as creative as the game itself. Let's hope next time they use cloud storage or, at least, put the cans in the fridge before toasting.
