Since its release in 2013, The Stanley Parable has been highlighted as one of the most interesting and mind-bending indie releases of the past generation. With its witty British narrator and a plot that unfolds based on the decisions that you make in-game, few games have captured the type of meta-narrative that the game gave players, which we’re set to see again (in a different form) with The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe. However, while the upcoming enhanced version was planned to debut this summer, its development team is pushing its release back to next year.
Developer Crows Crows Crows announced that The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe has been delayed to sometime in 2021, pushing the game from its intended release window of summer 2020. In true Stanley Parable fashion, the studio injected some humor into the delay announcement with some interesting Twitter images that you might recognize:

For those unfamiliar with the title, Ultra Deluxe is an enhanced new edition of the original 2013 indie game with additional content, such as new endings and more. Additionally, Ultra Deluxe will serve as a remaster that will bring the game to consoles for the first time, though no specific platforms have been announced by Crows Crows Crows at this time.
The past few weeks have been eventful for game delays, with Crows Crows Crows’ upcoming title far from the first delay announcement. Last week saw the news that Halo Infinite was delayed from its planned launch with the Xbox Series X this holiday season, while Deathloop was also delayed sometime into Q2 2021.
The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe will release for consoles and PC sometime in 2021.
