As we want to provide the best experience for our players, we are updating the release window for Xbox and PS5 to Spring 2024.” says the developer and publisher in their announcement.
“The additional time allows us to focus on matching the quality and performance across all platforms. We’ll share more updates on the console release window soon.”

Originally, the console version of Cities: Skylines 2 was supposed to launch simultaneously with the PC version, but sadly that’s no longer the case. The original game was first launched on PC then on eventually released on consoles.
It’s easy to describe Animal Well as a puzzle-focused Metroidvania eschewing traditional combat, where nearly every room is a puzzle room, but that falls so far short of describing just what this game is and how expertly it defies genre and classification that it feels like a disservice. Animal Well is a paragon of the art form, a game that simply must be experienced.
