Leisure Suit Larry: series games to be delisted from digital stores
The Leisure Suit Larry series is approaching a significant milestone as its recent entries prepare to leave digital storefronts. Publisher Assemble Entertainment has announced that the latest duo of games will soon be removed from sale.
Delisting and Final Sale
According to an announcement on Steam, both Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Don't Dry and Wet Dreams Dry Twice are scheduled to be removed from the store on October 23. Ahead of this deadline, both titles are currently available on Steam and GOG with a massive 95% discount, bringing the price down to less than $2 per copy. This provides a final opportunity for players to add these titles to their libraries before they are delisted.
While Assemble Entertainment has not provided an official reason for the removal or commented on whether the games might return to storefronts in the future, such moves are frequently attributed to the expiration of licensing agreements. Given that the original Leisure Suit Larry franchise belongs to Sierra (now under Activision), the timing suggests a potential conclusion to long-standing licensing deals.
Series Context
This delisting follows a trend of removing older titles from the franchise. Following the removal of the original Leisure Suit Larry games, the departure of the Wet Dreams duo effectively marks the end of the current era of the series in digital retail.
