Flip the Switch and let the music Play(Station)
The Artful Escape, a musical adventure from publisher Annapurna Interactive, is bringing its jams to both Nintendo and Sony platforms. The psychedelic musical game will go live for PlayStation 4, PS5, and Nintendo Switch next week on May 26, 2025.
Developed by Beethoven & Dinosaur,The Artful Escapecame out last year for both Xbox and PC, and got some acclaim. It follows a young musical prodigy who goes on a musical odyssey, and it’s packed with some star voice talent. Michael Johnston, Caroline Kinley, Lena Headey, Jason Schwartzman, Mark Strong, and Carl Weathers all lend their talents in-game.
The Artful Escapemight have gone a little unnoticed by some, but it picked up a few nominations, including Best Art Direction, Best Score/Music, and Best Debut Indie Game atThe Game Awards 2021. CJ also listed itas one of his favorite games of 2021 that we didn’t coverhere at Destructoid.
So if you missed the train on this one before, well, here’s a new platform to set off on. Especially as we’re still in that gracious lull period between the end of the year and the impending wave of games in February, now seems like a decent time to try something new.
The Artful Escapewill arrive on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch on Jan. 25 for $19.99. It’s alsocurrently available on Xbox consoles, Game Pass, and PC.
