Retro publisher and developer Incube8 Games announces that Infinity, the once-cancelled tactical RPG for the Game Boy Color, will be getting released on physical cartridge soon, with pre-orders now open. The game will be available in physical Standard, Collector, and Digital Editions. Alongside the announcement, a brand-new trailer showcases the long-awaited adventure in its definitive form.

Originally developed between 1999 and 2001 by Affinix Software, Infinity pushed the Game Boy Color to its technical limits. However, as the handheld’s lifespan ended, publishing challenges forced the project’s cancellation in 2002, leaving it as one of gaming’s great “what-ifs.”

Interest in the unfinished game never faded. In 2016, members of the original Affinix team reunited to release a playable demo of Infinity and made the source code public, inviting others to explore or complete the project. This rekindled excitement among retro gaming enthusiasts and led to a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2021. Spearheaded by Incube8 Games, the campaign gathered the support of 3,458 backers, raising nearly CA$370,000 to bring Infinity back from obscurity.

Over the past four years, Incube8 Games has collaborated with members of the original Affinix team and a dedicated group of developers to finish the game. This effort went far beyond completing the codebase:

- Restored and polished original content
- Enhanced graphics and gameplay refinement
- New features and quality-of-life improvements
- Extensive balancing and playtesting to deliver a smooth, engaging RPG experience

“Bringing Infinity to life after more than two decades has been both a technical challenge and a human adventure. This release represents years of passion, hard work, and dedication to stay true to the original vision of the creators,” said Gary Doireau, Marketing Director at Incube8 Games.
