Devolver Digital has opened a new publishing company in the form of Big Fan Games, one focused on providing licensed IPs to indie developers.

Created by a team of three, including the infamous developer of Get over it with Bennett Foddy, The baby steps will see players take on the role of “an unemployed failson” as he finally ventures beyond the safety and comfort of his basement and explores the world by simply “putting one foot in front of the other.” The game is set to have intentionally awkward controls, similar to those of Getting over it and other video games such as Octodadwhich aims to provide fans with a challenging yet fun gaming experience. While interested players were hoping to experience the title in 2024, they will have to wait for an updated release date from Devolver Digital in 2025.

According to the official The baby steps game page on the Devolver Digital website, the title will feature “fully simulated physics-based walking,” a dynamic soundtrack, a non-linear explorable environment, non-collectible hats, and an eyebrow-raising “fully dynamic onesie dirt system.” ” The early gameplay trailer for the game showcases an endearingly rogue protagonist and gameplay that rivals other irreverent titles beloved by fans of hilarious random simulator games. While no specific reason for the delay was revealed, many are keeping their fingers crossed The baby steps will provide a satisfyingly frustrating experience when it launches next year.

Devolver Digital continues to turn game delays into a fun point with its Delayed Awards, which help soften the blow for enthusiastic audiences. While The baby steps joins in Kingdom Hearts game delay and other launch shifts, fans can look out for when a new release date is officially confirmed by Devolver Digital.
