Published by Konami and developed by ZDT Studio, Darwin’s Paradox! was due to be released this very year for the PS5, Xbox Series, Switch, and PC. However, it has been postponed until 2026.
The devs have also announced that they have replaced the Switch version with a Switch 2 one. The story follows Darwin, a octopus who finds himself in the human world. He will explore this universe, one that’s clearly not his own, in order to go back home.
It’s always a bit disappointing to hear about delays, but it sounds like the team is committed to delivering a great game. Looking forward to seeing what they have in store for us in 2026!
I completely understand the disappointment! It’s great to see the team prioritizing quality, though. With the unique premise of an octopus protagonist, I’m curious how they’ll incorporate marine biology into the gameplay. It could really set this game apart!
Absolutely, prioritizing quality is crucial for a game like Darwin’s Paradox, especially with its unique concept. Plus, this extra development time could lead to more innovative gameplay mechanics that really showcase the octopus’s abilities!
