In a recent turn of events, the gaming community received some reassuring news regarding two popular titles. GOG’s representative, known as king_kunat, took to the forums to clarify that “The Outer Worlds, as well as the Spacer’s Choice Edition, will NOT be delisted.” This announcement comes just two days after initial concerns arose, and the representative extended apologies for any confusion caused. The specifics surrounding the earlier miscommunication remain somewhat vague, but it was characterized as an unfortunate oversight, reminding us all that even in the digital age, human error can occur.
Current Status of Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey
While the news about The Outer Worlds is positive, the situation is a bit different for Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey. As of now, this title is still on track for delisting, although GOG is actively working to resolve this issue. For those interested in the prehistoric survival game, it is currently available at a significant discount of 80%, bringing the price down to just . However, this offer will remain valid only until January 3, 2026.
The original announcement indicated that both games were set to be removed from the GOG store on December 15, with the Outer Worlds not receiving a discount, unlike Ancestors. The decision to delist these titles stemmed from a strategic choice made by their parent company, Haveli Investments, which has undergone some restructuring, including the involvement of former Annapurna Interactive staff. This transition has led to speculation that the games may be shifting to a new management structure under the name Fictions.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding Ancestors, the potential for a return of both games to the GOG platform seems plausible. Routine maintenance and administrative adjustments could facilitate a smoother resolution, allowing fans to enjoy these titles once again. For now, those eager to add these games to their collection are encouraged to act swiftly, as the window of opportunity may be closing soon.
