Botany Manor's PlayStation Release Finally Confirmed for January 28th
Originally slated for a December 17th launch, the PlayStation 4 and 5 versions of the critically acclaimed puzzle game Botany Manor have been delayed, but now have a confirmed release date: January 28th, 2025.
Initially released in April 2024 for Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, Botany Manor quickly garnered praise for its charming atmosphere, clever puzzles, and engaging gameplay, earning a "Strong" rating on OpenCritic with an 83/100 average score and 92% positive reviews. This success led to the announcement of a PlayStation port, originally scheduled for December 17th, 2024. However, publisher Whitethorn Games postponed the launch to ensure the best possible player experience.
The new January 28th release date fulfills Whitethorn's promise to provide an updated launch window. While the game's PS Store page isn't yet live, players can anticipate its arrival soon. The PlayStation versions are expected to be priced at $24.99, consistent with other platforms, and will remain a one-time purchase without microtransactions. The digital soundtrack, available separately on Steam, is unlikely to be offered on PlayStation.
Botany Manor Enhances PlayStation's Puzzle Game Lineup
The arrival of Botany Manor significantly strengthens the PlayStation puzzle game library. Once released on the PlayStation Store, it will be available across all initially announced platforms. Developer Balloon Studios hasn't yet revealed their next project. Botany Manor will join other notable titles launching on the PS Store on January 28th, including Cuisineer, Eternal Strands, and The Son of Madness.
