Demonschool delays its release back again to Q1 2025

As a dedicated fan who has eagerly awaited the release of Demonschool, I must admit my initial disappointment upon learning about its latest delay to Q1 2025. Yet, upon reading the heartfelt statement from Necrosoft Games, my spirits were lifted. They are not just creating a game; they are crafting a world that they want to be proud of, one that is chock-full of content and immersive experiences.


In a recent update, both Ysbryd Games and Necrosoft Games have announced that the launch of their upcoming strategy role-playing game, Demonschool, has been postponed to the first quarter of 2025. Originally scheduled for release on September 13, 2024, the developers opted for a delay to allow for further development. Previously, the game was initially delayed in November 2023 and rescheduled for a Q2 2024 launch window.

Demonschool delays its release back again to Q1 2025

Necrosoft Games provided an extensive statement about the reason for the delay.

“Though it’s always regrettable to postpone a game launch, Demonschool holds significant value for us. We’ve poured all our efforts into this project and, as we neared the September 13th release date, we came to understand that achieving this deadline would inevitably result in a game with less content than initially planned.”

After discussing with Ysbryd, we realized we have a couple of paths forward. We could:

  1. Ship the game in the state it’ll be in on Sept. 13. We’re proud of the game as it stands, but we want to make this world feel even livelier.
  2. Ship the game in early 2025, which would allow us to manifest our bigger dreams into reality.

We believe the second option would be better for everyone for everyone who has followed our work so far. So we are delaying the game to make sure it’s as chock full of Things To Do as we had hoped. Realistically, the player would never have known. It still would’ve been a finished product. But we would have known that the game could have been more, and that’s the game we want to share. Ysbryd gave us the flexibility to do this, which is very unusual for a publisher these days, and we’re thankful for the opportunity to do this right. Since we’ll be taking extra time, we plan to create short dev diaries up until launch to offer more insight into the work we have ahead. We hope you look forward to these deeper dives into our process.  

Apologies to those anxiously counting down the days for our game. We’re optimistic that the additional features will make the wait worthwhile. This year, 2024, has been challenging for us, so your patience is greatly appreciated.

Beyond this point, Necrosoft Games intends to share frequent progress reports on Demonschool, via both written and video posts, right up until its release. The initial installment of these updates is currently available, focusing on the way Demonschool manages the Burn status affliction.

The game “Demonschool” is set to release on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC platforms via Steam and Epic Store during the first quarter of 2025.
