by

Konami and ZeDrimeTim have pushed back the release of their action adventure platformer, Darwin’s Paradox, from 2025 to 2026. The game will now be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Switch 2, and PC (via Steam). They’ve also announced a version for the new Switch 2 console, and the previously planned version for the original Switch will no longer be released.

Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:

About

Join Darwin, a smart and lovable octopus, on an epic journey! He’s been taken from the ocean and is now stuck in a huge, puzzling factory. Use Darwin’s amazing skills – like swimming, blending in, and more – to help him escape tricky traps and dangers in this exciting platforming, adventure, and puzzle game.

I’m already hooked on this story! It’s about Darwin, a sweet little octopus who lives way down deep in the ocean. He’s happily exploring when suddenly, this weird light shines down and whoosh – he gets pulled up to the surface! Can you imagine? He wakes up totally confused in this massive junkyard, with this really creepy factory looming over everything. I need to know what happens next!

Something feels off. Surrounded by menacing machines, peculiar containment tanks, and unsettling creatures and people, Darwin quickly understands he’s in a dangerous situation. To escape and return to the ocean, he’ll need to be clever, adapt, and uncover a vast conspiracy that could decide the future of humankind.
