The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe Release Date Announced, And It Was Always Right In Front Of Us

Stanley doesn’t use 427 as an employee ID number. The number cleverly is also the release date for Crows Crows Crows’ The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe.

Twitter was taken by the developer to post a new trailer today announcing Ultra Deluxe’s April 27th release date. It starts out as a boring corporate training video, but quickly gets very intense.

Stanley is shown in a video explaining his role at the company where they work. He presses buttons all day on the computer. Then the camera zooms out to the player’s perspective, who runs into the hall revealing endless rooms with the same video projected onto screens. The trailer’s tone gets more frantic as the camera moves into a maintenance room, whipping around to different points of interest before arriving at a painted brick wall and a handwritten sign that reads, “Welcome back Employee 427!” You can check out the trailer for yourself above.

The Stanley Parable Ultra Deluxe, which was originally announced in 2018, marks the first time that the game is available on consoles. When it launches next month, this enhanced and expanded version will be on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Switch. Our review can be found here.
