An exciting new platformer is going to hit early access on Steam soon, inspired by the likes of Hollow Knight and Ori and the Blind Forest. That game is called Deviator and features a gorgeous hand-drawn art style and metroidvania gameplay. The main mechanical premise of the game is using parrying to to turn the combat against your opponents, bringing a touch of souls-like mechanics into the mix. So you better sharpen your i-frame recognition and get ready for the game’s release.
What is the release time for Deviator?
The exact time frame when Deviator is going to launch to Steam early access isn’t specified, but we can calculate a prediction based on the Steam counter. With some simple math, we can expect that the game will be released at the following times, depending on your region:
- West USA: August 1 at 7 pm PDT
- East USA: August 1 at 10 pm EDT
- UK: August 2 at 3 am BST
- Central Europe: August 2 at 4 am CEST
If our prediction is correct, the release time for the game will be slightly earlier for the US players compared to us over in Europe. Still, we’re looking forward to trying this beautiful new platformer. If anything, boss battles will have to be amazing, given everything we know about the game’s mechanics.
Countdown timer
To make it easier to keep track of when the game is going to launch, we have made a handy timer to count down to the game’s release. Of course, it is based on our abovementioned prediction time and is not fully precise. Still, it should give you a decent window to plan around.
