- Cassette Beasts was originally supposed to be released for mobile devices in June
- However, it was delayed so that developers could work on improving the port.
- Could we see a new release date during Future's Mobile Gaming Show?
You may recall that back in May, we mentioned that Bytten Studio’s Cassette Beasts would be coming to mobile on June 4th. However, shortly before that date, the developers tweeted that it would be delayed. It was disappointing, no doubt, but the team wanted to make the port as good as possible, so for that reason, I say take your time.
Official word has been quiet since the delay, which led me to scour the web to see if I could find any clues. And I found one, albeit in a fairly obvious place. According to the App Store page, Cassette Beasts is expected to launch for iOS on October 7.
It's not that far away! Cheer up, right? Well, maybe, but it's important to remember that most games have a placeholder App Store release date. Give it a week or so and it could be later in the year. So until we hear anything official, we can only speculate.
And that might be a long way off. Future’s Mobile Gaming Show is set to take place on September 26, and Cassette Beasts is confirmed to be part of the lineup. However, its involvement is presumably a new trailer, so it could be a closer look at how it runs on mobile. Stay positive though, there’s always the possibility of a new release window if not a specific date.
Why did I just spend four paragraphs speculating about this? You might reasonably ask. Because Cassette Beasts is a wonderful game, so I’m excited for the mobile version. If you’re unfamiliar with it, it’s a mix of Pokemon and other classic RPGs with a little twist. Instead of collecting creatures to battle, you find tapes that can transform your character and their companion into different beasts. Sounds fun, right?
When it finally arrives, Cassette Beasts will be available on the App Store and Google Play. If you’re interested, you can pre-order it ahead of launch by clicking the button for your preferred platform below.
