Major Glover Update Set for Release on April 23

The much-anticipated update for Glover is slated to land on April 23, bringing a host of visual upgrades, bug fixes, and game enhancements tailored to elevate the user experience. In collaboration, QUByte Interactive and Bleem have been working diligently, incorporating community feedback to refine the game for nostalgic gamers across various platforms. The update is also extending its reach to Steam, thanks to Piko Interactive.

QUByte Interactive and Bleem are on the cusp of releasing a significant update for the modern rendition of Glover on April 23. This upgrade promises to revamp the gaming experience for fans who hold a special place for this classic. Originating from the 90s era of 3D platformers, Glover carved out a unique niche with its character-driven gameplay that involved skillful maneuvers like ball dribbling and rolling. The game’s endearing legacy has facilitated its transition to modern consoles, following its initial launch on Steam in 2022 and its subsequent release on platforms like the Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.

The news of further support from QUByte Interactive and Bleem for Glover is warmly welcomed. The upcoming update is set to deliver meaningful enhancements to both console and PC versions, including modifications to achievement criteria and descriptions. Visually, players can expect a more polished appearance with refined textures, enhanced visual effects, and improvements in lighting and shadows.

In addition to these aesthetic improvements, the bonus stage in the Prehistoric World is receiving adjustments, specifically in how Garibs are positioned to make progress smoother. The update is also resolving several notorious bugs, addressing issues in areas like the Fortress of Fear, Atlantis, and the Carnival Boss, all of which previously hindered player progression. While QUByte Interactive is managing the console updates, Piko Interactive is responsible for bringing the same changes to PC players on Steam, with QUByte Interactive handling things on Xsolla.

Excitingly, this patch arrives with an incentive: a 10% discount on Glover across all consoles as a prelude to the update. However, as of now, the discounted pricing isn’t yet reflected on Xbox, PlayStation, or Nintendo’s online stores, leaving some mystery as to when the promotion will be active.

The hope is that this latest update enhances the gaming experience across all platforms. Glover’s enduring charm has made it a beloved title among fans of retro gaming. It’s encouraging to see the dedication from QUByte Interactive as they act on feedback from the community, suggesting that future patches may be on the horizon to iron out any remaining quirks.
