BELOW, the latest title in development by Capybara Games has finally gotten a launch window according to a change made on its Steam Store page.

If you're down for a bit of spelunking, BELOW might be the kind of title that's right up your alley. Players will be able to explore a massive subterranean world known as The Isle, a deep realm packed chock-full of mysteries and a heck of a lot of darkness. Here's a trailer from a couple years ago before it was delayed:

BELOW was originally announced way back in 2013 as an indie title for the Xbox One. Like most game developers, they were quite anxious to get their game into the hands of players. However, they did not feel that it was up to a standard that they were comfortable with releasing. As a result, they decided to buckle down and work on the development of the title until they could get it into a state that they were happy with, delaying it indefinitely.

It seems that their hard work is finally starting to bear fruit. The Steam store page for BELOW has had its release date tagged as "2018", meaning that they are probably getting close to where they would like their game to be. Capybara Games Creative Director Kris Piotrowski mentioned on Twitter that he would be at E3 showing the game off to attendees.

Hopefully, we'll be hearing some more concrete details from the developers in the coming weeks and months. For the moment, you can add the game to your Steam wishlist by heading on over to their Steam Store page. You can also drop by the game's official website.

What do you think of BELOW? Do you think the game will be ready by the holiday season of 2018? Let us know in the comments below!
