- Hero’s Adventure: Another Tale Delayed to December - 14 August 2026
Hello everyone, We have an important update regarding Hero’s Adventure: Another Tale. After taking another careful look at the current build, the team has decided to delay the release to around late December this year. We’re sorry to ask everyone to wait a little longer. As development has progressed, we’ve realized that the game still needs more time and polish. Rather than rushing it out on the original schedule, we believe giving the team more time is the right decision. What’s in the Game Before sharing what we’ll be working on over the next few months, we’d also like to give everyone a clearer picture of the current scope of Another Tale. The game currently includes a Prologue and four main chapters, followed by an epilogue that explores what happens after the main story.

Looking back, the journey has been full of twists and turns, and it’s far from perfect. But thanks to your encouragement, this “late-start indie team” has been given a rare second chance to stand tall in today’s wave of new-generation games. We are truly grateful to all our fans for following and supporting both me and the Hero series! For the original Hero’s Adventure, we know there were quite a few shortcomings due to our inexperience. Right from launch, we released frequent updates to expand the game, and later on, although the pace slowed, we continued exploring more content, art, and gameplay through DLCs. Along the way, we gradually realized that some underlying design issues were impossible to fully resolve with just patches. Even when we pinpoi…
