Botany Manor Announces New PS5 Release Date

Botany Manor's PlayStation Debut Set for January 28th

Originally slated for a December 17th, 2024 release, the PlayStation versions of the critically acclaimed puzzle game Botany Manor have been delayed, but a new launch date has been confirmed: January 28th, 2025. This applies to both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 consoles.

Developed by Balloon Studios and published by Whitethorn Games, Botany Manor charmed players on Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and PC upon its April 2024 release. The delay, announced shortly before the initial December launch, was attributed to the developers' commitment to delivering the best possible player experience.

While the January 28th release date is now set, a PlayStation Store page for the game is yet to appear, meaning pre-orders and wishlisting remain unavailable for the time being. The game is expected to retail at $24.99, consistent with its pricing on other platforms. Unlike the Steam version, which offers a separate digital soundtrack, this add-on is not anticipated for the PlayStation release.

Botany Manor's Strong Critical Reception

Botany Manor received widespread praise upon its initial release, boasting a strong "Strong" rating on OpenCritic (83/100 average score, 92% recommendation rate). Its relaxing atmosphere, inventive puzzles, and engaging exploration have solidified its reputation as a top-tier puzzle game of 2024. Its arrival on PlayStation is poised to significantly enrich the platform's already impressive puzzle game library.

With the PlayStation launch, Botany Manor will finally be available on all initially announced platforms. Balloon Studios has yet to announce its next project, but January 28th will also see the release of several other titles on the PlayStation Store, including Cuisineer, Eternal Strands, and The Son of Madness.
