Botany Manor's PlayStation Release Finally Set for January 28th
Highly acclaimed puzzler Botany Manor will finally bloom on PlayStation consoles on January 28th, 2025. Initially slated for a December 17th, 2024 release, the PS4 and PS5 versions were delayed to allow for further polish.
Developed by Balloon Studios and published by Whitethorn Games, Botany Manor charmed players on Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and PC earlier this year with its enchanting blend of magical plant cultivation and relaxing gameplay. The PlayStation port's delay, announced shortly before the original release date, was attributed to the developers' commitment to delivering the best possible player experience.
Whitethorn Games confirmed the new January 28th release date on January 9th, 2025. While the date is now set, a PS Store page for the game is still pending, meaning pre-orders aren't yet available.
The PlayStation version is expected to be priced at $24.99, consistent with other platforms. It will be a one-time purchase without microtransactions, and the digital soundtrack, available separately on Steam, is unlikely to be offered on the PlayStation Store.
Expanding PlayStation's Puzzle Lineup
Botany Manor originally received widespread critical acclaim, boasting a "Strong" rating on OpenCritic with an 83 average score and a 92% recommendation rate. Its calming atmosphere, ingenious puzzles, and engaging exploration captivated critics, establishing its reputation as a top-tier puzzler of 2024. Its arrival on PlayStation promises to enrich the platform's already impressive puzzle game library.
With the PlayStation release, Botany Manor will finally be available on all initially announced platforms. Balloon Studios has yet to announce its next project. January 28th will also see the PlayStation Store releases of Cuisineer, Eternal Strands, and The Sone of Madness.
