It looks like Born of Bread isn't coming out of the oven anytime soon. Originally planned to be released this summer, the game has been delayed and now coming out this Fall.

What exactly happened? Not a lot of details have been revealed with the exception of a statement from WildArts Lead Designer and Programmer Nicolas Lamarche. Lamarche assured everyone that while it's taking longer than expected, it's going to "be worth the wait." He added that they wanted a game that had a good mix of RPG elements and are confident that the official version is sure to be a treat.

While waiting, everyone can enjoy the new trailer below:

A Hero the World “Kneads”

In the game, beings from another age have started to cause problems on the land. Their mischief has now become a threat. A hero arrives in the form of a golem that's born of bread and named Loaf. The golem, along with his friends, are caught in the middle of a situation that's been thousands of years in the making. The game gets to explore some incredible locals and even meet truly fascinating characters.

Artistic Direction & Storyline

One of the things that players can look forward to in this game is its unique artistic direction. It features a mix of 2D characters that’s evolve in a 3D world. While the angle of the camera is fixed similar to a side-scroller, the environment actually offers a lot of depth.

The light-hearted storyline is another highlight of the game especially since it’s been packed with likable characters and humor. It’s not all fun since the story also takes on a serious tone with topics like the consequences of choices and growth of the characters.

Friends & Combat System

Th game has Loaf explore different parts of the kingdom and along the way meet new friends that accompanies him on his journey. Each new buddy comes with their own set of abilities that can help the party in exploration or combat. Of course, the journey won't be easy as there are enemies to encounter. The combat system of the game gives players access to various weapons that are physical damage types and special damage types. It's up to the players to find what combination is the most efficient in beating enemies.
