Grey Skies: A War of the Worlds Story received terrible reviews on Steam when it launched. It is a stealth-action game based on H.G. Wells' sci-fi novels that launched in November 2020. Players complained about its animations, gameplay, controls, and more, calling it a janky mess.
The developer, Nathan Seedhouse of Steel Arts Software, was away from development for two years due to personal issues. He recently came back and saw the negative feedback. He said he understands the problems but still believes in the game's potential. So, he announced that he is working on a free remaster of the game with new technologies and improved skills.
He plans to address the common complaints and read through all the concerns carefully. The remaster will be added to the libraries of those who own the original game, which will be removed from sale soon.
The remaster's release date and platform availability are unknown. The game launched on PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and Steam. It remains to be seen if it will win back the players disappointed by the original game. But we hope for a good ending for the developers and the gamers, too.
