PS5 Finally Gets New Release Date From Botany Manor

Botany Manor's PlayStation Debut Finally Set for January 28th

Initially slated for a December 17th, 2024 release, the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 versions of the critically acclaimed puzzle game Botany Manor have been rescheduled for a January 28th, 2025 launch. This delay, announced by publisher Whitethorn Games, aimed to ensure the best possible player experience.

Developed by Balloon Studios, Botany Manor charmed players on Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC upon its April 2024 release. The game's unique blend of relaxing gameplay, magical plant cultivation, and charming English countryside setting earned widespread praise, solidifying its reputation as a top-tier puzzle title of 2024. Its OpenCritic score of 83/100 and 92% recommendation rate speak volumes.

While the new release date is confirmed, a PlayStation Store page remains absent. PS4 and PS5 players will need to wait a little longer before adding it to their wishlists. The game is expected to retail at $24.99, consistent with other platforms, and will be a one-time purchase without microtransactions. Unlike the Steam version, a separate digital soundtrack is not anticipated.

Botany Manor is poised to significantly enhance the PlayStation puzzle game library, joining other notable January 28th releases such as Cuisineer, Eternal Strands, and The Son of Madness. Following its PlayStation launch, Botany Manor will be available on all initially planned platforms. Balloon Studios' next project remains unannounced.
