What are the console plans for Mirthwood, will it be released on PS5, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox Series X/S? If you’ve been playing the demo for Mirthwood on Steam, you might be wondering if you can play this medieval fantasy RPG life-simulation adventure on consoles.
Mirthwood isn’t just about its striking visuals and atmosphere. It features a storyteller mechanic influenced by games such as Fable and Rimworld, where in-game events are generated by selected storytellers, affecting the game’s difficulty. Have Bad Ridge Games commented on ports for console platforms?
When is Mirthwood releasing on PS5, Switch or Xbox Series X/S?
Bad Ridge Games has announced plans to release Mirthwood for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch in 2025. Currently, the team is concentrating on the PC version, which has recently been delayed to November 6th.
“We’re focused on PC/Steam release initially. It’s always been our desire to bring the game to consoles, Switch in particular. Consoles next year”
It sounds like the Switch is the preferred platform for Mirthwood after PC, but hopefully, we see it released for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S too. We didn’t think it was likely until at least 2025, but this news now confirms it.
Here’s the statement sent to us about the delay on PC:
We want Mirthwood to be the best it can be on day one. As a small, passionate team, we’ve worked tirelessly to create a world that you will love, but we felt there were still key areas, like performance optimization, localization, and some of the systems, that needed more work and attention before launch.
We know that this is disappointing for many of you, but we want to make sure the game is completely ready before we release it and don’t want to release it unfinished. So, in the meantime, we are going to be holding some Beta weekends where you’ll get to jump in and try out what we’re working on.
You can try out the demo now and learn more about it on Steam. See if you enjoy its mix of Rimworld and Stardew Valley, combined with the role-playing scenarios and outcomes reminiscent of Skyrim.
