The next game from the man behind Braid and The Witness — Jonathan Blow — now has a release date. As such, we can tell you that Order of the Sinking Star will be released on October 8th, for PC, Switch 2 and PlayStation 5.
Expect a massive, hand crafted game, with more than one thousand challenges, including puzzles. This will exist in an open-ended and interconnected world, which will respect players’ curiosity and time.
“Order of the Sinking Star simply wouldn’t exist without the incredible designers who helped work on it over the years,” said Jonathan Blow, Founder of Thekla, Inc. and game designer behind Braid and The Witness. “By creating a kind of game design supercollider, we were able to bring together ideas from some of the most brilliant puzzle designers in the industry. I’m grateful to everyone who contributed to help us push the limits of what’s possible in a puzzle adventure. We can’t wait for players to step into this world and discover just how deep and complex it really is.
“Order of the Sinking Star showcases design contributions from Alan Hazelden (Skipping Stones to Lonely Homes, Mirror Isles), Sean Barrett (Promesst), Jonah Ostroff (Heroes of Sokoban), Zach Polansky (Enigmash), Patrick Traynor (Patrick’s Parabox), Marc ten Bosch (Miegakure), and several others — including design contributions from Twitch followers over the years.”
