Last year, IGN Japan had a livestream featuring two of the most enigmatic Japanese Directors out there: Suda51 and Swery. Both are known for the outlandish and surreal games with twisting narratives. They talked about project the two were doing, something being called for now Hotel Barcelona. The appropriately mysterious title now has a release window…maybe?
The game was teased in the livestream to be a horror suspense title being published by Devolver Digital. The publisher took to Twitter after the announcement to seemingly debunk the game’s existence, leading many to think Hotel Barcelona was a joke or codename for something else. Well, Devolver has actually started posting about the game again, with Suda51 joining in to seemingly tease a delay from 2020 to 2021.
It’s hard to say exactly what’s going on here, but it seems that the game is a real thing at the very least (maybe anyway). Either way, if it is a 2021 release, it’ll probably be a good while before we hear anything about it.
