Faraway, a calm sci-fi puzzle game that has been in development for more than a decade, launches on November 5. Developer Steph Thirion's game is coming to PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2 and Switch on the same day, GameSpot revealed.
What kind of game it is
Gematsu describes Faraway as a randomly generated, minimalist arcade puzzle game. You play a shooting star that designs constellations as it travels. GameSpot calls it a tour of the cosmos and a chill game, so expect something to relax with rather than a test of reflexes.
A long road
GameSpot's headline puts Faraway's development at 16 years, and the outlet revealed the date as an exclusive.
Release details
| Platform | Release date |
|---|---|
| PC | November 5 |
