DEVOUR News

Real talk: the COVID-19 pandemic affected us all in one way or another, and for health related reasons, some of our core team have been forced to take a step back from the process of developing DEVOUR. This means that there will be a significant delay in releasing our next map, which was scheduled to drop this September. Rest assured that we're still working on the map, but we're now looking at a release date of sometime in 2023. Since we're delaying the release of the new map, we're also delaying the price bump.

We know this will come as a disappointment to many of you. We haven't made this decision lightly, and we ask for your understanding and patience as the team adapts to the situation and makes the decisions necessary to ensure the wellbeing of its developers and the longevity of DEVOUR. We're incredibly proud of the fact that within 18 months, as a small, independent team, we've released 4 separate maps, as well as full VR functionality and a Supporter's Edition.

We're still highly committed to bringing you more DEVOUR-themed frights - it's just going to take us a little longer this time. Until then, we're going to keep you updated on the development process by regularly sharing what various members of our team are up to behind the scenes.

We're still here, we're still super excited about the future of DEVOUR, and we're still grateful for our amazing community of players, fans and content creators. Thank you all.

Good things come to those who wait! We're excited to announce that DEVOUR is now fully VR capable! We know the DEVOUR community has been excited about the prospect of VR for the game and we've been working hard to bring full VR functionality to your favourite online co-op multiplayer horror.

Over the past few weeks, we've been running a competition for an artist to have a piece of work included in our new, upcoming map. The competition is now closed! We'd like to thank everyone who entered their work this time. As before, we've been incredibly impressed with both the number of submissions and the quality of the art. It's been extremely difficult for the developers to vote for a favourite!

We're pleased to reveal that Lyre is our winner, with this fantastic piece:
