Order of the Sinking Star planned for PS5

Arc Games and Thekla announced Order of the Sinking Star will launch on PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC (Steam) in 2026, expanding the studio’s puzzling pedigree. The game centers on more than 1,000 hand-crafted puzzles spread across four worlds whose mechanics intertwine as they collide into new gameplay possibilities. Players will explore at their own pace, revisit worlds, and control a cast including a queen, a thief, a warrior, a wizard, and a talking boat, each bringing unique abilities to the intertwined challenges. Built as a successor to The Witness and Braid, the title merges exploration, storytelling, and evolving puzzle systems that promise hundreds of hours of gameplay. A Steam Next Fest demo drew attention, with progress carrying over to the full game, and hands-on previews highlight features like rewind/undo mechanics and cross-world interconnections. Multiple reports confirm a 2026 release across PS5, Switch 2, and PC, with platform-specific details and previews fueling anticipation.
