PS BLOG

Hi everyone! We finally know the release date for The Witness: it’s 26th January 2016. That’s about four months from now, and it will be a very busy four months as we work hard to make the game the absolute best we can.

We’ve also got a new trailer, which you can watch above.

We’ll be very happy to get the game out into the world, because we’ve been working on it a long time! We originally thought The Witness would be coming out toward the end of the PS4 launch window, but… there’s just been a lot to do. I think when the game is in your hands, you’ll find it to be intricate and deep, and also unlike anything else you have played.

There’s a lot here. When we started making this game, I figured it would have between eight and 12 hours of playtime. As it happens, the game we’ve finally built is around 10 times as big as that. If you are a completionist who wants to wring every last drop out of the game, you might expect to play for 80 hours, or possibly 100. For people who don’t want to go quite that far, the game’s still got plenty for you.

lock if old.

Edit: Yep, still looks fucking phenomenal.

Edit2: playstation blog entry added

Edit3: Coming to PC on the same day

Both this game and Below feel this way.

K.Sabot · Sep 17, 2015

Almost 3 years since its initial "reveal" at the PS4 reveal.

And waaaaaaaaaaaaaay longer since we first heard about it, finally.

Fracas · Sep 17, 2015

Loudninja · Sep 17, 2015

MrV4ltor · Sep 17, 2015

Such a pretty game. Might buy it just for the look, since I suck at puzzles lol

Meader · Sep 17, 2015

This game is supposedly massive, so I'm OK with how long it has taken. I am so in for this.

Slixshot · Sep 17, 2015

Vinc · Sep 17, 2015

Wow. Beautiful trailer. Really excited for this and really grateful we have someone like Jonathan Blow in this industry. Will purchase on day of release.

DarkChronic · Sep 17, 2015

I remember years ago listening to the Giant Bombcast when Ryan and Brad went to Blows house to play the game.

Cannot wait to play this!

Jb · Sep 17, 2015

That's why I don't care how long this has taken. This game is supposed to be huge jRPG length lol

Family Fry · Sep 17, 2015

So how much we looking at? $40 maybe $50?

GhaleonEB · Sep 17, 2015

Yay I was hoping the trailer for it was dated. Good call to dodge the holiday release schedule.

The trailer shows a lot more of what I suspected would be the case - the maze puzzles transition out from the monitors and into the environment.

I just realized Blow and team have not said one word about the story, just the premise of exploring an island. Will be nice to go into it totally blind.

Captain Smirk · Sep 17, 2015

Ahhh the colours and the music....witness making a statement

Honome · Sep 17, 2015

Amazing release date! Can't wait to play it, really looks beautiful.

Savinowned · Sep 17, 2015

Wait... did he make this one by himself like Braid or does he have a team?

There is little hints. An image of a man turned to ash/stone, an image of a woman and her child... it's very evocative anyway.

Spine_Ripper · Sep 17, 2015

The first and probably only indie puzzle game I will ever be hyped for. Glad to finally hear a date.

sems4arsenal · Sep 17, 2015

Looks gorgeous

Tratorn · Sep 17, 2015

Wow, that's how you advertise a "puzzle"-game.
Quite epic trailer.

They are a company now

Team. Not sure how many but definitely more than 2 guys, like Braid.

ced · Sep 17, 2015

That was great, good to see the music sounds like Braid.
