The game launches on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2. A physical edition will be available for PlayStation 5.

Painted Black Games developer Roman said the delay allows the team to use actionable notes from the community to deliver the best version of the game.
