Devolver Digital to launch mascot platformer same day as GTA 6

Devolver Digital is releasing a mascot platformer, Volvy's Adventure: Reslimed, on November 19th for Steam, priced at $5. This remaster of an unreleased game features the publisher's mascot, Volvy, who can transform into a muscular form named Swolvy. The game involves rescuing kidnapped friends and fighting warlocks, with minigames also included. Devolver Digital is intentionally launching this title on the same day as Rockstar's highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6, a move that contrasts with most other publishers seeking to avoid direct competition.
