The time has finally come for our release date reveal! We’re thrilled to announce Order of the Sinking Star, the massive, highly anticipated puzzle adventure led by legendary, award-winning game designer Jonathan Blow (The Witness, Braid), will launch on PC via Steam and Steam Deck, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 on October 8.
Ten years in the making since The Witness, Order of the Sinking Star aims to be the premier puzzle adventure of this generation. Bringing together brilliant puzzle designers from across the industry, this massive puzzle adventure will deliver an epic, interconnected world packed with over a thousand handcrafted challenges and hundreds of hours of gameplay.
“Order of the Sinking Star simply wouldn’t exist without the incredible designers who helped work on it over the years,” said Jonathan Blow, Founder of Thekla, Inc. game director of Order of the Sinking Star, and game designer behind Braid and The Witness. "By creating a kind of game design supercollider, we were able to bring together ideas from some of the most brilliant puzzle designers in the industry. I’m grateful to everyone who contributed to help us push the limits of what's possible in a puzzle adventure. We can’t wait for players to step into this world and discover just how deep and complex it really is.
Order of the Sinking Star showcases design contributions from Alan Hazelden (Skipping Stones to Lonely Holmes, Mirror Isles), Sean Barrett (Promesst), Jonah Ostroff (Heroes of Sokoban), Zach Polansky (Enigmash), Patrick Traynor (Patrick's Parabox), Marc ten Bosch (Miegakure), and several others — including design contributions from Twitch followers over the years.”
Prepare to take the helm of a motley crew of heroes, utilize their abilities to solve a wide array of puzzles, experience what happens when their worlds collide and get one step closer to uncovering the mystery of the Order of the Sinking Star! What starts as individual journeys will evolve into a dynamic universe where mechanics, characters and abilities collide, and the rules of reality shift to create mind-bending new possibilities.
One of the most-played demos during Steam Next Fest, soon, fans from around the world will be able to completely jump into Order of the Sinking Star! Whether you’re a major puzzle fan or a newcomer, the game’s non-linear, open design ensures that hitting a challenging roadblock in one realm simply means you can pivot to another world and return whenever you are ready.
