Konami and ZDT Studio have announced a new platformer titled Darwin’s Paradox, which will release in 2025. They announced it during the recent State of Play. It will release on PlayStation 5, PC, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.
Check out the first trailer for Darwin’s Paradox below:
Darwin’s Paradox will support HDR, raytracing, a Beauty Mode (4k) and a Performance Mode. Further, the game will take advantage of the DualSense controller’s microphone to create further immersion. PlayStation Blog post describes more details about Darwin’s Paradox below:
“Our protagonist Darwin has all the evolutionary features of an octopus including the ability to climb almost any surface, camouflage himself, and also the skill to shoot ink to evade his enemies. Haptic feedback on the DualSense controller’s triggers will give you the satisfying feeling of firing off multiple shots of black ink to hit hard-to-reach levers and buttons, or to blind security camera feeds to plan your escape. When swimming in underwater scenarios, the ink shot disperses into the water, creating a perfect back smokescreen to help you get past searchlights without being spotted…
Darwin’s movements across the world are meticulously tracked with controller vibrations, giving you a sense of connection to our curious cephalopod everywhere he climbs. When you get hit, you feel it. In a world as dangerous as the one Darwin dares to explore, there will be short-circuit shocks, crushing machines of twisted metal, and roaming packs of rabid rats looking to make Darwin a tasty meal.”
Lastly, Darwin’s Paradox will release on PlayStation 5, PC, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch in 2025. PlayStation revealed the game alongside other titles like SAROS, Dreams of Another, and more.
