Absurd multiplayer game Party Animals is still set for a release this year, despite being in “production hell”.

A new blog on Steam states the team at Recreate Games “can feel the anticipation and anxiety of our players” and will be gradually releasing more information on the game’s progress.

The game received an open demo in October 2020 but little has been heard since.

However, the game is “still in development and the target release date is hopefully within 2022, with possible delays due to quality and compliance approvals. What I want players to know is that I want the game to be released as soon as possible (after all, this is the only source of income for the game studio), but quality is still the first priority.”
