Cassette Beasts, the retro creature-collecting RPG, has launched on iOS, but its Android release has been unexpectedly delayed. Developer Bytten Studio reports a last-minute snag with Google Play's approval process for a necessary patch. The game will return to the Android store as soon as the patch is approved, but this unfortunately prevents a simultaneous launch.
iOS users can now enjoy Cassette Beasts' blend of classic monster catching, battles, and open-world exploration. However, Android users will have to wait. The delay stems from unforeseen issues requiring a quick patch, and the Google Play approval process has created an unexpected roadblock.
This is disappointing, especially given the anticipation surrounding Cassette Beasts. These last-minute delays are unfortunately common, and we hope the issues are resolved swiftly.
Unexpected Delays
Game launches sometimes face unforeseen complications. The current situation highlights the potential challenges of eleventh-hour patching and the sometimes lengthy Google Play approval process.
The recent prominence of alternative app stores raises the question of whether a broader launch across multiple stores might have mitigated this delay. While this is food for thought, it's likely Cassette Beasts will reappear on the Google Play Store within a few days.
