Experiment 101 affirms that BioMutant is still in development

Fur real

 Experiment 101 has shared an update on BioMutant, the anthropomorphic action role-playing game that was first seen during Gamescom 2017 (via Push Square).

News on BioMutant has been few and far between. After its reveal, a gameplay preview was published in early 2018, then publisher THQ Nordic stated that the game would be delayed into 2019. Gamescom 2019 showed off another preview of BioMutant, but the developer remained tight-lipped on its release window. Even in this state of limbo, the game looks interesting and intriguing, and those who had been following it since its reveal were chomping at the bit for actual information on its progression.
Now, Experiment 101 has volunteered an update. “We know many of you are wondering if the game is still in development. Let us assure you that we’ve never been working harder and more focused on it than now!” said the developer in a post on Twitter. “As some of you might understand or know, the work involved in finishing a game is long, challenging and unpredictable. The sheer magnitude, size, and length of BioMutant adds to said effort.” The game boasts an alien open world that can be traversed on foot or flight, and by using a hot air balloon, jet ski, or a mech. Decisions made will impact the player’s karma and open or close certain quests. The developer thanked fans for their excitement and patience, and said that BioMutant’s release will be revealed when it “feels confident about hitting that date and that the game is ready for it.”
Recently, a retail listing for the game claimed that it would hit the shelves on March 17, 2020. We can safely say that isn’t the case, and though we’ll still be waiting for BioMutant, it will be the best it could be when it is finally released.
BioMutant will arrive on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
