I suspect that if this ever gets an international release it won't have the same items as this," said one Redditor from r/Games, with others hoping to secure pre-orders for the game via shopping concierge services or through friends living in Taiwan.

"But when we saw the positive feedback from our fans, we felt much relieved." Sharing that the studio had received plenty of support from the international community, they said that Red Candle Games is, as of yet, unable to respond to requests for publishing Devotion on a larger scale.Įven though it’s been a year since Devotion’s original release, there's still a growing demand for the game worldwide, with fans delighted to see Devotion resurface after the incident.

Additionally, it has been over a year since the initial release," said Liu. For one, we know that a limited period of release in Taiwan is not ideal for all our players. "To be honest, we were a bit unsure about how the public would react to it in the beginning. Not only is this physical edition one of the very few ways players can legally get hold of the game, it also comes with items inspired by nostalgic paraphernalia from 1980s Taiwan-a goldmine of collectibles for fans. "There are many reasons that brought the physical format of Devotion to life, the main reason being that our team wanted to do something special for the local players in response to their continuous support," said Tiff Liu, the PR Director of Red Candle Games. Unfortunately for the international community, the release is restricted to Taiwan overseas fans are out of luck, at least for now. It's the first time Devotion has been available since it was pulled from the internet. After more than a year, they also announced that they were releasing Devotion in a limited physical edition (opens in new tab). Ever since the controversy in early 2019-in which an unflattering but biting reference to China’s president, Xi Jinping, was discovered hidden inside Devotion, leading to its removal from Steam-the studio had been quietly working on its third game.
