Bō: Path of the Teal Lotus – the gorgeous 2.5D platformer with Metroidvania elements based on Japanese folklore – released earlier this year across PC and consoles. However, soon after its debut, its publisher Humble Games faced “restructuring” at the company, resulting in layoffs. (Eurogamer and Humble Games share a parent compamy, IGN Entertainment.)
This had a knock-on effect for the game’s developer Squid Shock. Soon after news broke about layoffs at Humble, Squid Shock assured its community it remained committed to Bō: Path of the Teal Lotus, but the changes at the publisher could result in delays for updates, particularly on consoles.
“We are now in a difficult situation when it comes to updating the console ports, as both Porting and QA Support was tied into our deal with Humble,” Squid Shock wrote in July. “We are actively pursuing all available avenues to allow us to roll out updates to console versions, but we regret to say this may take some time to put in place.”
