GRIS coming to PS4 on November 26

Watercolor platformer GRIS is coming to PlayStation 4 via the PlayStation Store on November 26, publisher Devolver Digital and developer Nomada Studio announced.

Limited Run Games will sell a limited print physical edition of the game for $29.99, which will take open pre-orders for five weeks starting today.

The PlayStation 4 version of GRIS has been updated in “meticulous detail,” with the art team revamping “over 5,000 unique assets to two-to-four times higher resolution to take advantage of the PlayStation 4 Pro and 4K displays,” according to programmer Roger Mendoza on the PlayStation Blog. The score from Berlinist was also integrated into the game with less compression for “cleaner and brighter” music and audio design. And the game has added “quality of life” improvements and a “PlayStation-exclusive secret homage to one of our favorite games and an inspiration for GRIS.”

GRIS first launched for Switch and PC in December 2018, followed by iOS on August 22. In March, Devolver Digital announced that the game had surpassed 300,000 sales.

Here is an overview of the game, via the Devolver Digital:

Gris is a hopeful young girl lost in her own world, dealing with a painful experience in her life. Her journey through sorrow is manifested in her dress, which grants new abilities to better navigate her faded reality. As the story unfolds, Gris will grow emotionally and see her world in a different way, revealing new paths to explore using her new abilities.

GRIS is a serene and evocative experience, free of danger, frustration or death. Players will explore a meticulously designed world brought to life with delicate art, detailed animation, and an elegant original score. Through the game light puzzles, platforming sequences, and optional skill-based challenges will reveal themselves as more of Gris’s world becomes accessible.
