Order of the Sinking Star, Thekla, Inc.’s newest puzzle game, still doesn’t have a release date. However, in a new trailer, game director Jonathan Blow confirmed that it’s coming to PS5 along with the previously announced PC and Nintendo Switch 2.
He also revealed new details about the game, including that it’s ten years in the making. Not including Braid, Anniversary Edition, it is Blow’s first game since 2016’s The Witness, so that certainly tracks. But the sheer scale of the experience goes beyond the 1000+ puzzles and +900 levels.
For starters, there are multiple endings, as revealed in PlayStation Blog’s latest preview. And while we already know about the different sub-games and stories in this massive world, Blow revealed that there are multiple ways to combine their abilities. For instance, the Heroes of Hauling (revealed to be six rather than three) can combine their abilities with teleporting mirrors.
You also have Skipping Stones to Lonely Homes and The Promise’s colored beams to combine. What’s even more intriguing is that there’s an “end-game” of sorts for players to work through, perhaps shining more light on the mysterious Order.
We’ll find out when Order of the Sinking Star launches later this year. A free demo is available, which includes more than 100 puzzles to solve.
