Below , the upcoming “rogue-like-like” from- Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP -c0-developer Capybara games, has been officially pushed back until 2016. The game was expected to launch by the end of 2015, but as the year winds down-without an announcement from the developer, it has seemed increasingly unlikely that the studio would release the game in-their targeted-window. Capy Games co-founder Nathan Vella confirmed what fans might have assumed to Game Informer Wednesday. “ Below is indeed coming in 2016,” Vella said. “Past that I can’t share much, yet. We’ll certainly have a lot more content to show and news to share in the new year.” Obviously that’s not a lot of information. Without any insight into the-nature of the delay, it will be difficult to say-whether fans will have to wait weeks, months or until holiday 2016-to play Below . Below is a top-down action-adventure game with roguelike “permadeath,” which, when combined when with the game’s reportedly high level of difficulty, should lead to some extremely intense combat. Creative director Kris-Piotrowski named The Legend of Zelda , Spelunky and Dark Souls among the team’s chief influences in a 2014 interview with Polygon. The game also features a minimalist pixel-art aesthetic reminiscent of- Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP, as well as music from that game’s composer, Jim Guthrie.
