One of my most anticipated indie games finally has a release date, almost 4 years after its initial reveal

When Gecko Gods was revealed in 2022, it instantly became one of those games I simply had to play. The very idea of being a little gecko scampering around ancient ruins and using the world as my climbing frame appeals more than I can really express in words, but I didn't realise just how long it would be before I could embark on this epic adventure.

Thankfully, after almost four years of waiting, Gecko Gods has finally revealed a release date rather than a window, and now I only have to wait until April 16 to become my true gecko self.

Compared to the previous announcement trailers for the game, it looks like the world has been refined, with brighter colours and sharpened details, which is particularly thrilling as exploring the world is what I enjoyed most from the demo. I imagine there are still plenty of secrets outside of the areas shown in the trailer to uncover while you wander around the world, and I can't wait to scour every single inch of the map trying to find them all.

Having spent four years as a games journalist guiding, reviewing, or generally waffling about the weird and wonderful, she’s more than happy to tell you all about which obscure indie games she’s managed to sink hours into this week. When she’s not raising a dodo army in Ark: Survival Evolved or taking huge losses in Tekken, you’ll find her helplessly trawling the internet for the next best birdwatching game because who wants to step outside and experience the real thing when you can so easily do it from the comfort of your living room. Right?
