There Are No Ghosts at The Grand splittes i tre kapitler

Udvikleren Friday Sundae har hidtil været ganske krystalklare omkring tidsplanen for There Are No Ghosts at The Grand og gentagne gange slået fast, at spillet vil få debut i løbet af 2026. Nu hvor vi tager hul på årets sidste tredjedel, og der fortsat ikke foreligger en fastlagt dato, sidder du måske og overvejer, om planen stadig holder stik? Det gør den. Vi fik nemlig mulighed for at tage endnu en snak med creative director Anil Glendinning under Gamescom for at høre nærmere om den kommende titel, og hvordan udgivelsesplanerne reelt ser ud.

Til at begynde med forklarede Glendinning, at There Are No Ghosts at The Grand bliver opdelt i tre kapitler som en del af dets Early Access- og Game Preview-forløb. Det første kapitel lander i slutningen af året, hvorefter Chapter 2 formentlig følger i første kvartal af 2027, inden Chapter 3 efter planen runder det hele af mod slutningen af 2027.

"With Early Access, players will be able to play the story in a linear way. So we'll have Chapter 1 dropping in December, and then in the first quarter, I suppose, of 2027, Chapter 2, and then towards the end of next year, the final chapter, Chapter 3."

Glendinning tilføjer, at Chapter 1 bliver en ganske omfattende mundfuld med hele 22 missioner (eller episoder) at give sig i kast med: "which wraps up a lot of mysteries, a lot of questions, and a lot of answers. And by the end of that, you'll discover why there are no ghosts at The Grand."

Vi spurgte desuden ind til, om Chapter 3 vil markere afslutningen på Early Access-fasen og dermed spillets officielle 1.0-lancering, hvortil Glendinning svarede: "yes, I think that's probably fair to say."

Med udgivelsen fortsat sat til december 2026 forsøgte vi også at lokke en mere præcis dato ud af ham, hvilket Glendinning afrundede med: "When we say an exact date, it's likely to be the first week or so of that. But it's really important, I think, particularly for indie devs, to pay close attention to what else is releasing around that period, so you can find a nice time slot. So a little bit closer to the time when we can find a nice landing spot for the game, that's when we'll kind of drop it in December. But we know people are going to be super busy in December with that little thing called Christmas and that other little thing called Grand Theft Auto."
