Goodbye Volcano High is an upcoming adventure video game developed by Canadian indie studio KO_OP.[1][2]
The game was announced on 11 June 2020 at Sony's "Future of Gaming" online event for the PlayStation 5.[3][4] Originally slated for a 2021 release,[3] it is currently scheduled for release in mid-2023 on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Windows.[5]
Synopsis
Set in a world of anthropomorphic dinosaur characters, the game centers on VVorm Drama band members: the non-binary Fang (voiced by Lachlan Watson)[6] and their best friend Trish, the school's student council president Naomi, and Fang's brother Naser - as they venture through the highs and lows of their final year as Volcano High seniors with graduation looming over the horizon.
Development
In August 2021, KO_OP announced a delay of Goodbye Volcano High's release until sometime in 2022. The developers wanted to avoid crunch related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and had already brought in a new writing team from Sweet Baby Inc. in June 2020 to reboot the game's entire narrative direction.[7][8]
Legacy
In June 2021, Cavemanon Studios, a development team composed of 4chan users, released a fangame of Goodbye Volcano High called Snoot Game.[9]
