During INDIE Live Expo 2024, PLAYISM and Silver Lining Studio announced narrative-driven puzzle adventure game The Star Named EOS has been delayed to summer 2024. Although the title is no longer due out in spring, the game will be coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S alongside the original Nintendo Switch and PC (Steam) versions.
Originally, The Star Named EOS was supposed to launch in 2024 for Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam only. PLAYISM narrowed the release window down to spring 2024, but a lack of updates implied that the release may have slipped into summer. An update at INDIE Live Expo confirmed this alongside the new console version.
