Gori: Cuddly Carnage will launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam on August 29 for $19.99, publisher Wired Productions and developer Angry Demon Studio announced. Digital pre-orders for the PlayStation versions include two days of early access on August 27.
“Cats have nine lives, and Gori has used most of them!” said Wired Productions manging director Leo Zullo in a press release. “When we first started to collaborate with Angry Demon Studio nearly three years ago, they had already been through a ride in development, but thanks to their determination and vision, with our support, they’ve been able to deliver exactly what they set out to do.”
Zullo continued, “Gori: Cuddly Carnage is a throwback to the games I played in the late 90s and 2000s. It’s pure adrenaline, fun, outrageous and really a showcase of just what indie gaming is all about—a place for creativity, freedom and the ability to make the game you want to make. Angry Demon Studio did just this, and I couldn’t be more excited for its launch on August 29.”
Angry Demon Studio developer John Kalderon said, “We’re thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of Gori: Cuddly Carnage across multiple platforms. It’s been an incredible journey bringing this absurd and action-packed world to life, and we couldn’t be happier to finally share it with players everywhere. We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our amazing community and everyone who has been a part of this journey since 2020. Your feedback and support have been instrumental in shaping Gori into the game it is today, and we’re incredibly grateful for your continued enthusiasm. Get ready to embark on an unforgettable adventure with Gori: Cuddly Carnage—the fun starts soon!”
