Cassette Beasts releases on iOS, Android release pulled pending approval for new patch

Cassette Beasts, the retro creature-collecting RPG, is now available on iOS, but its Android launch has been unexpectedly delayed. Developer Bytten Studio reports a last-minute snag in Google Play's approval process for a necessary patch.

iOS users can enjoy the game immediately, but Android users will have to wait. The delay is due to unforeseen issues requiring a patch to address problems discovered before the official release.

This is disappointing news, especially considering the game's anticipated launch. The blend of classic monster catching, battling, and exploration made Cassette Beasts a highly anticipated title. Unfortunately, these last-minute setbacks are difficult to predict. Hopefully, the issues will be resolved quickly, allowing Android players access to Cassette Beasts soon.

A Setback for the Beasts

Unexpected launch delays are a common challenge in game development. The situation is further complicated when a last-minute patch is needed, as the Google Play approval process can cause significant delays.

The recent prominence of alternative app stores raises the question of whether a broader initial release across multiple stores might have mitigated this issue. While a valid point, it's unlikely to significantly impact the overall timeline, with a return to Google Play expected within a few days.
