Cassette Beasts releases on iOS, Android release pulled pending approval for new patch

If you've been eagerly awaiting the release of Cassette Beasts, the retro-inspired creature-collecting and battling RPG, and you're an iOS user, you're in luck as the game is now available for you to enjoy. However, if you're on Android, you might be wondering about the sudden disappearance of the promised release. Unfortunately, we have some disappointing news for you.

While iOS players can dive into the world of Cassette Beasts right away, Android users will have to wait a bit longer. Developer Bytten Studio has confirmed that the Android release has been temporarily pulled due to pending approval for a new patch on Google Play. This patch aims to address some issues that surfaced just before the planned launch.

It's a real shame, especially since Cassette Beasts has been highly anticipated for its blend of classic creature-collecting, battling, and overworld exploration. These last-minute delays are often unpredictable, but we're hopeful that the issues will be resolved swiftly, allowing Android players to join the fun soon.

Beastly Business

It's an unfortunate reality that game launches don't always go as planned. What's even more frustrating is when a necessary patch, like the one needed for Cassette Beasts, faces delays due to the approval process on Google Play.

Given the recent buzz around alternative app stores, one wonders if a broader launch strategy, including platforms with faster approval times, might have mitigated this issue. It's certainly food for thought. However, we expect Cassette Beasts to return to the Google Play Store within a few days, ready for Android users to enjoy.
