Synopsis

Set in a world of anthropomorphic dinosaur characters, the game centers on VVorm Drama band members: the non-binary Fang (voiced by Lachlan Watson)[3] and their best friend Trish, the school's student council president Naomi, and Fang's brother Naser - as they venture through the highs and lows of their final year as Volcano High seniors with graduation looming over the horizon.

Development

The game was initially announced on 11 June 2020 at Sony's "Future of Gaming" online event for the PlayStation 5, with a release window of 2021.[4][5] In August 2021, KO_OP announced a delay of Goodbye Volcano High's release until sometime in 2022. The developers wanted to avoid crunch related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and had already brought in a new writing team from Sweet Baby Inc. in June 2020 to reboot the game's entire narrative direction.[6][7][8] In November 2022, the game was delayed to 2023.[9]
