Flippin' heck, it's been a while since the last update on The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe. The project is an improved and updated version of the cult hit PC game, filled with brand new narrative threads and endings to discover. It'll also be the first time it's playable on a PlayStation, which is exciting in itself. However, the game has been delayed again and again, and now, with the first news in over a year, it's being pushed back one more time.
As per the above video, Ultra Deluxe is now scheduled to launch in "Early 2022". The difference this time, and why we have a little more faith in this release window, is that the title is reportedly "content complete". In other words, developer Crows Crows Crows is busy smoothing out the experience in preparation for release.
We sincerely hope it makes it this time. The game was initially announced during The Game Awards 2018, where a 2019 release date was offered. It was then delayed to "sometime in 2020", and then once more to "early 2021". Obviously, none of those dates were met, and so here we are. We've already waited this long, so what's a couple more months, right?
The good news is that it should be worth the wait. Writer Davey Wreden has said that the script for Ultra Deluxe's extra content is "longer than the script for the original game", so it sounds like there will be a lot of new stuff to see and do.

Game devs can you just be smart enough to not place a release window for once until you actually know that it is finished?
I don't mind waiting for however long the devs need. Stanley Parable is an all-time favorite and Davey Wreden is really talented, so I know this extra time will be worth it in the end.
Been waiting for this for a loooooong time, can wait a little longer. But Early 2022 is very vague, Q1 is already stacked and they’ve been woeful at hitting any dates. 2019->2022 is Kickstarter like levels of tardiness
Let me guess...February, when just about every other game is coming out!
I checked out the developer's Twitter account just the other day. Had absolutely no news in it, so the writing was sadly on the wall.
I'll be here whenever it (actually) comes out. The new content does sound worth it.
Why does everyone release in early 2022 and in the developers are dissapointed in the sales. 🤪
I bet they actually finished the content ages ago, but they've got to test all the achievements, and Go Outside is a bit of a pain 😉
@theheadofabroom I’m so close to getting that one!
@nessisonett I can't remember how long it has been. Knowing my luck it won't be playable on Windows 11 and I'll always be one achievement away from perfect...
Do we get an achievement for waiting so long?
I like the self awareness of the trailer. Not annoyed one bit.
Hilarious trailer, I may actually play the game one day.
