Hey Clockmakers, remember when we moved the launch of Hell Clock to avoid a new PoE league?
Well, we have to push back the Cursed War expansion's release as well... GGG has pushed their next Path of Exile 2 update to May 29, and that’s simply too close for comfort for us. We know exactly where everyone in the ARPG community will be spending their precious free time that week, and to be completely honest, we'll be right there with you, grinding and playing Return of the Ancients.
While we know a delay is always frustrating, releasing Cursed War just four days later simply wouldn’t make sense. As a small studio with a very limited marketing budget, we also rely heavily on content creators for our launch visibility, and the vast majority of them will be playing the much bigger game in PoE 2. So to be clear, Cursed War will not drop on June 2nd. We’re moving it by a few weeks, and we’ll be announcing the new date very soon.
The silver lining is that this gives our team a little extra runway. We’re using these additional weeks to add even more polish, crush a few extra bugs, and make sure the Cursed War experience is top-notch on day one.
We’ll be announcing the new release date very soon. But we didn't want to leave you empty-handed today. To give you a taste of what’s coming, here is our brand-new trailer that dives deeper into the dark story of Cursed War:
We expect some of you to be disappointed by the date shift and we completely understand. But this will give you more time for Return of the Ancients and Cursed War, and we can’t wait to see what you think when we drop the expansion.
Stay tuned here and in our Discord for more updates and the new date. Thanks for your patience and support.
BRAZILIAN COMMUNITY ALERT! WE NEED YOU!
Besides the Cursed War news that you'll soon be enjoying, we have another announcement to share and a very special request for our community in Brazil.
Hell Clock has been selected as one of the 10 FINALISTS for the Brasil Tá Pra Game award!
For those who might not know, this is an initiative by Embratur alongside Abragames, aimed at rewarding games that showcase innovation, our culture, and the talent of the Brazilian gaming industry to the world.
We're competing in the Popular Vote category, and that's where you come in! Winning this award isn't just a massive honor, it also comes with a prize that would be an absolute game-changer for us as an indie studio, helping us invest even more into the quality of the game for you.
Since this voting is focused on national promotion, it requires a CPF (Brazilian ID/Taxpayer number), which means only our Brazilian players can participate in this phase.
If you dig our work on Hell Clock and want to give Rogue Snail a boost, please take a minute out of your day to vote for us!
