Stray‘s big adventure heads for warmer weather
The adorable futuristic cat-hero adventureĀ StrayĀ has a new release window. Rather than earlier in the year, it looks likeĀ StrayĀ has been quietly shifted to later on in the summer for PS4, PS5, and PC.
The new timing appeared in a PlayStation indies update on Twitter.Ā StrayĀ is shown first in the montage, with text saying it will be out in summer 2022. (As spotted by Eurogamer.)

This is a little bit further out than initially expected. BlueTwelve Studio’s adventure game had previously been expected to launch in early 2022. Now, it looks like the team’s taking a little extra time.
StrayĀ cat strut
Though it’s taking a little extra time, it does seem likeĀ StrayĀ is coming along. Today, publisher Annapurna Interactive posted a little teaser. The indie publishing house posted a snapshot of a Steam landing page forĀ Stray, with the Play button lit up in green.

Hopefully this means some news is forthcoming. Maybe a new look at the cat adventure?Ā StrayĀ has been consistently adorable and impressive in past showings. The idea of playing a stray feline in a futuristic, robotic world is certainly appealing. And visually,Ā StrayĀ looks fantastic in its previews, so hopefully it really makes an impression on the PS5 when it hits.
A few other PlayStation-related indies have their launch windows locked in as well. Indie band narrative adventure We Are OFKĀ is also aiming for summer 2022, whileĀ Cult of the LambsĀ is targeting the fall of 2022. I got to check outĀ Cult of the LambĀ at Devolver’s booth at PAX East recently, and it really surprised me. Turns out, adorable animals in dark settings is just a winning combination.
We’ll see howĀ StrayĀ shapes up in the summer it seems, when it hits PlayStation 4, PS5, and PC.
