Will Black Labyrinth be released on GOG? If so when?
Posted August 12, 2023
Yea, the is no info about it being on GOG

It listed on Steam but lacks the price.

Black Labyrinth is now available on Steam. Where is the GOG version???
Posted August 19, 2023
I was expecting it would be released here alongside with Steam, surprised it is not here yet.
But I am certain it will come.

GOG got all ESG now, they don't care.
Posted August 21, 2023
The trailer video on youtube said it's out early. I'm guessing the timing all off because of that.

The intent seems to have been for the DLC to launch on Steam and GOG at the same time.

But New Blood has never actually released a DLC like this on GOG before (they've only done "deluxe edition" type DLC launched at the same time as the base game), and they don't seem to have anticipated how much longer it'd take to get it on the storefront. On Steam, it's almost just a matter of uploading the files and hitting a "release" button, but things take longer on GOG (since they package the games in their own installers, integrate them with Galaxy, promise to provide tech support, etc etc). I imagine if they had known this, they would've started the gears moving on the GOG process a week or two earlier, so they could've actually released the DLC simultaneously. Oshry's said they're working on it now, anyway.

(I've seen posts insinuating that this is a deliberate delay that's meant to, for some reason, target GOG users. But that's obviously nonsense- New Blood have a good track record of looking after their fanbase, and have looked after the GOG versions of their games pretty well. I'm not clear on how they'd benefit by disappointing part of their fanbase by making them wait a few days more for a DLC.)

That´s what I was thinking.
Deliberate delay - that´s obvious bullshit, just as you pointed out.

Now I am curious how long will it take to release it here, I am hoping for this week.
For me that´s an instabuy anyway + I hope they will release the OST here as well.

I wanted to play it the past weekend, hopefully it releases this week.

Inttentional delay seems weird, maybe they wanted to release on Steam first because it's easier to release builds compared to GOG?
I'm talking out of my hat but if not, apart from a falling out between GOG and New Blood I don't understand what's going on.

Ah ok, this makes sense. Glad to know they're working on adding it to GOG even if there is a slight delay.

Thanks for sharing
