Originally announced in 2015, Little Devil Inside gained attention as a Kickstarter-backed indie RPG. Later, in 2020, it was revealed as a timed PlayStation exclusive during the PS5 showcase event, fueling excitement among fans. However, since the last tangible update in April 2024, there has been growing concern that the project may have been abandoned, leaving backers and longtime supporters frustrated after nearly a decade of waiting.
From Kickstarter to Endless Delays
The game first appeared on Kickstarter in 2015, promising a Fall 2016 release across multiple platforms. However, that never materialized. By June 2020, it had been showcased as a PlayStation exclusive for PS4 and PS5, with a possible PC release, reigniting anticipation.
Despite this momentum, Little Devil Inside fell into a cycle of repeated delays. The most recent update in April 2024 on Kickstarter assured fans of regular development updates, beginning with weapon upgrade design improvements. Yet, after that post, the development team vanished once again, leaving supporters in the dark.
A Trail of Missed Release Windows
Since its Kickstarter campaign, the game has cycled through multiple release windows, shifting from Fall 2016 to 2022, then beyond, with no clear explanations for these continuous delays.
In February 2024, developer Neostream Interactive released a brief gameplay clip, showcasing progress made with Unreal Engine 5. However, no further updates followed throughout 2025, deepening concerns about the game’s fate.
Is Little Devil Inside Indefinitely Delayed?
Adding to the uncertainty, Kickstarter backers have voiced frustration, expressing disappointment over the prolonged silence. One supporter lamented: "I regret supporting this. Since 2015, and it's still not finished!"
The Vice news outlet once praised the project’s artistic direction and innovative gameplay mechanics. However, it also warned that the extended development cycle might place Little Devil Inside in the same troubled territory as Duke Nukem Forever, where a lack of transparency and communication ultimately led to failure.
A ‘Lost Exclusive’ for PlayStation?
The timed PlayStation exclusivity, once a promising selling point, now feels more like a missing-in-action release, as the game remains stuck in development limbo after nearly ten years.
With no new updates or developer statements, fans are left wondering: Where is Little Devil Inside? Will it ever release? Could a sudden announcement finally break the silence?
Until Neostream Interactive provides an official update or clarifies the game’s status, Little Devil Inside remains one of the most mysterious and uncertain projects in gaming today.
