Aokaki Release Pushed to Q2 2027 Alongside Kickstarter Launch
Development on Aokaki has shifted following a three-year timeline, pushing the release window to Q2 2027. The Concha Indigo Team is launching a Kickstarter campaign on May 19 to support full-time development.
The Concha Indigo Team announced a delay for Aokaki, moving its expected launch to Q2 2027. Part-time work schedules necessitated by a three-year development cycle slowed progress down, prompting the studio to seek full-time funding.
Kickstarter Launch and Schedule
A Kickstarter campaign for Aokaki goes live on May 19, 2026. A pre-launch page is currently available for players to track the campaign. The team spent significant effort developing visuals and backer rewards for the upcoming crowdfunding drive.
Development Background
The project has been in development for three years. Balancing the workload with part-time jobs created bottlenecks that pushed back the completion date, leading the developers to transition toward full-time production.
Why this patch matters
The three-year project requires a funding push to cross the finish line by 2027, making next week's Kickstarter campaign crucial for the team's full-time transition.
