Developer Crows Crows Crows announced on March 31st that the adventure game “The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe]Will be released on April 27th. It seems that the delivery date has been decided after three postponements.
The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe is a remake of the acclaimed The Stanley Parable released in 2013. This is a first-person adventure game with Stanley, a man who works in a certain office, as the main character. It is also known that it was originally produced as a mod of “Half-Life 2”. A major feature is the existence of narration with a meta-perspective, and the narrator reacts to the actions of Stanley = player while exploring the office. Led by a narrator and sometimes against it, he jumps out of the inorganic office.
In the remake version, the engine has been renewed to Unity. It will be released on the console in addition to the PC. As for the content, it is a plus to the original version content, and new content, options, endings, hidden elements, etc. will be added. In addition, visual improvements and accessibility features will be included. The amount of text is larger than the original version, and it seems that localization will be newly implemented, but it seems that Japanese is not supported at this time. Volunteer Japanese mods may appear.
In addition, although this work was supposed to be released in 2019 at the beginning of the announcement in 2018, it was later postponed to 2020 and 2021, and at the end of last year the release time was set as “first half of 2022” by the third postponement. (Related article). In the video released at that time, there was also a comical act in which the narrator of this work expressed doubts to the “developer”. We hope that the April 27th release date, named after Stanley’s employee number, will be the third (strictly speaking, the fourth) honesty.
The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe will be available for PC (Steam) and consoles on April 27th.
