After around half a dozen years in development, Jonathan Blow’s Myst-inspired, exploration-based puzzle adventure game The Witness has a release date. The creator of Braid will launch his next instant classic on January 26, 2016. Numerically, that’s 0126, 2016. So even the release date is a kind of puzzle.
The January launch will cover releases across PC and PlayStation 4. An iOS mobile port will follow “some months after that.” And then “a bit later” after that additional, unannounced platform versions will drop.
You better clear out your holiday backlog before The Witness arrives, because, according to a post from Blow on the PlayStation blog, the game will offer upwards of 80-100 hours for completionists. That’s insane!
A brand new trailer is embedded up top, accompanied by a handful of new, wallpaper-worthy screenshots below.
Matt Litten is the full-time editor and owner of VGBlogger.com. He is responsible for maintaining the day to day operation of the site, editing all staff content before it is published, and contributing regular news, reviews, previews and other articles.
Matt landed his first gig in the video game review business writing for the now-defunct website BonusStage.com. After the sad and untimely close of BonusStage, the former staff went on to found VGBlogger.com. After a short stint as US Site Manager for AceGamez, Matt assumed full ownership over VGBlogger, and to this day he is dedicated to making it one of the top video game blogs in all the blogosphere.
Matt is a fair-minded reviewer and lover of games of all platforms and types, big or small, hyped or niche, big-budget or indie. But that doesn't mean he will let poor games slide without a good thrashing when necessary!
