Oh, and said teenager just happens to be a dinosaur. Did we miss that part where all of this takes place in a world made up of anthropomorphic dinosaurs? It’s a unique setup for a story like this and it leaves us wanting more. Goodbye Volcano High showed up as part of last night’s State of Play, which had a surprising amount of PC-relevant news, including news looks at Baldur’s Gate 3, Suicide Squad, and a release date for spirit animal adventure Tchia.Goodbye Volcano High comes out in 2021 for PS5, PS4 and PC, and should be one for story fans. Developer KO_OP is also releasing a third track from the game called Reunion, to coincide with the new trailer. Goodbye Volcano High will launch on PlayStation and PC via Steam on June 15th. Or the world? I’ll likely play it regardless because it’s a sad, musical teen game and if I don’t like where it’s going: hey, there are branching decisions, I’ll just go back and pick a different option. Or maybe it's because all the characters seem to be very angry at each other in this latest trailer. Maybe it's the whole 'animals donning hairdos' that's putting me off, which somehow seems more distracting with cold-blooded dinosaurs. Melodramatic dramas and high school visual novels are extremely my vibe, but something about Volcano High has me on the fence. I think a world-destroying meteor would be a more appropriate catastrophe, but we’ll see how things shake up. Oh, and the world is also exploding according to the trailer’s YouTube description, even though that apocalyptic detail is absent in the actual trailer.

Goodbye Volcano High follows a group of teen dinos - and aspiring musicians - as they say goodbye to their high school, Volcano High, hence the name.

The coming-of-age high school drama was originally set for a 2021 release, but a narrative reboot let it slip into 2022, which then turned into 2023 - which is now. It looks like we’ll finally be able to play as sad dino teens this summer, since Goodbye Volcano High just announced its release date of June 15th.
