We hope you are enjoying the summer! Things have been extremely busy around here as we’ve been working non-stop, fixing bugs, stabilizing the build, and polishing every single detail to ensure the best possible experience. On top of all that hard work, we have some fantastic news to celebrate today: we are heading back to Gamescom!
Let's get into it.
We are super thrilled to announce that we will be attending Gamescom once again from August 26th to August 30th!
Our team is going all-in to bring the absolute best version of the demo to the show floor. We've been working intensely behind the scenes to make sure the build feels polished, smooth, and ready for you to experience. If you’re attending the event in Cologne, make sure to come say hi and try out the game!
Unfortunately, we won't be able to announce the release date during this event as we were planning to; we are so sorry to hype you up for this announcement.
Again in an ideal world, we'd have already announced the release date as originally planned; but with the ever-growing amount of games launching in the 2nd half of 2026, we want to make sure we give the game the best shot we can at launch, as we only get one shot, one release. We're working hard right now to find a date that works for both us and you (and your wallets!) and as soon as we land on that date, we can't wait to share it with you all!
We know you're all excited to finally get your hands on the full launch and hugely appreciate your patience while we figure this out. For now we will be waiting until we see a good window, and don’t doubt we will announce it as soon as we can; we are also excited for Alma’s release, and we want you to play it and tell us what you think!
While preparing for Gamescom, we’ve also made huge strides in overall production and implemented some new features that bring Neo Barcelona to life like never before:
The New Esperanza Ship Rework: We’ve given the interior of the Esperanza ship a full rework! It’s looking better than ever, and we can’t wait for you to explore its new look.
Full Localization: The game is now practically fully localized across multiple languages, ensuring players around the world can enjoy Alma’s story in their native language.
A huge shoutout to everyone who’s been active on our Discord, giving us your love, support and feedback. Your input has been incredibly valuable and has helped us fine-tune the game and polish the final details. We’ve been taking tons of notes, and your excitement genuinely keeps us going.
With each update, we’re getting closer to bringing this world to life, and we honestly couldn’t do it without you. Thanks for being with us on this journey. We can’t wait to share even more soon.
See you in our next entry,
