The game was originally planned to be released in 2023, but Rafael Lange said he wanted to deliver a quality product, and for that, he would need more time. Posteriorly, he said it would still be released in 2024. By the end of October, Cellbit and Dumativa announced the release date for Enigma of Fear by November 28th, 2024, in addition to a demo of the game.[12]
