Botany Manor's PlayStation Debut Set for January 28th

Originally slated for a December 17th, 2024 release, the PlayStation versions of Botany Manor, the critically acclaimed puzzler from Balloon Studios, have been rescheduled for a January 28th, 2025 launch. This charming title, initially released on Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and PC in April 2024, will finally grace the PS4 and PS5 consoles.

The delay, announced by publisher Whitethorn Games, aimed to ensure a polished and optimal player experience. While a new release date was promised in 2025, the official announcement arrived on January 9th, confirming the January 28th launch. Interestingly, a PlayStation Store page is yet to appear, meaning pre-ordering or wishlisting isn't currently possible.

Priced at $24.99, mirroring its other platform releases, Botany Manor offers a one-time purchase with no microtransactions. While a separate digital soundtrack is available on Steam, it's unlikely to be included in the PlayStation version, following the pattern of the Switch and Xbox releases.

Enhancing the PlayStation Puzzle Lineup

Botany Manor's arrival is highly anticipated. Its impressive "Strong" rating on OpenCritic (83/100, 92% recommendation) speaks volumes about its quality. The game's blend of relaxing gameplay, ingenious puzzles, and engaging exploration has garnered widespread praise, cementing its place as a top-tier puzzler of 2024. Its addition to the PlayStation catalog significantly strengthens the console's already impressive puzzle game library.

With its PlayStation release, Botany Manor will be available on all initially planned platforms. Balloon Studios' next project remains undisclosed. January 28th will also see the arrival of several other titles on the PlayStation Store, including Cuisineer, Eternal Strands, and The Son of Madness.
