Today, developer Necrosoft Games announced that <em>Demonschool <\/em>is moving to a Q2 2024 release window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Previously set for 2023, the studio says it&#8217;s taking more time to put everything together. &#8220;We&#8217;re trying to make this thing as good as we possible can, and it needed a little more time in the oven,&#8221; reads a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/necrosoftgames\/status\/1730301371503800366\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">statement<\/a> from Necrosoft Games on Twitter. &#8220;But it&#8217;ll be worth it! Please wishlist on steeeeeeam!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The news arrives alongside a new trailer, shown at today&#8217;s PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted 2023 showcase. The trailer features a good look at the mechanics of its turn-based tactics, as well as some glimpses of different characters that will be in your party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Demonschool Battle Mechanics Trailer\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WvhTfNvVfaU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-school-s-out-for-demons\">School&#8217;s out for demons<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Demonschool <\/em>is a pretty rad-looking tactics RPG, from the team behind games like <em>Hyper Gunsport<\/em>. It&#8217;s been on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/demonschool-school-life-tactics-rpg-horror-reveal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">our radar for some time<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/pax-demonschool-impressions-tactics-school-life-necrosoft\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">made a strong impression<\/a> when I got the chance to demo it at PAX East this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The story follows Faye, who&#8217;s attending a university while also getting involved in a ton of occult and supernatural happenings. Between the turn-based battles, you can also wander around, pick up quests, and chat up other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s really neat, and despite dashing my hopes for a last-second end-of-year surprise, I hope the extra time in the oven helps <em>Demonschool <\/em>shine. In an increasingly crowded 2024, this is still one of my more anticipated games. Definitely one for the indie and tactics crowds to keep an eye on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Demonschool <\/em>is currently planned for Q2 2024 on <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/1900250\/Demonschool\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PC via Steam<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The school bell will ring a little later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":808,"featured_media":434551,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"article_type":"","ub_ctt_via":"","_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"[]","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[21406,19109,21407,19138,21007],"internal-label":[],"invoiceable_action":[23730],"article_type":[23116],"coauthors":[{"id":808,"display_name":"Eric Van Allen","user_nicename":"ericvanallen"}],"acf":[],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Demonschool_2024Delay_113023.jpg?fit=1200%2C675","author_info":{"display_name":"Eric Van Allen","author_link":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/author\/ericvanallen\/"},"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Demonschool_2024Delay_113023.jpg?fit=1200%2C675","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/434540"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/808"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=434540"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/434540\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":434553,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/434540\/revisions\/434553"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/434551"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=434540"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=434540"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=434540"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=434540"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=434540"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=434540"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=434540"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
