The Pathless Launching for Switch & Xbox Next Week

Publisher Annapurna Interactive has announced that the Giant Squid-developed puzzle platforming adventure, The Pathless, will launch for Nintendo Switch and Xbox on February 2, 2023. This game’s arrival on these platforms was initially announced in the July 2022 Annapurna Showcase.

The Pathless is currently available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.

The exact Xbox consoles were not stated, but it’s safe to assume Xbox One, with it playable on the Series X|S via backward compatibility.

Throughout the game, players will form a bond with their eagle companion as they hunt corrupted spirits. However, they aren’t the only predator in the area and will soon meet powerful foes who don’t take too kindly to being exorcised.

Players are able to freely navigate the map as they head to spots of interest. These moments require some puzzle-solving, which revolves around the use of the bow and manipulating its movements. The game also features boss battles that alter the environment and makes players use all of their skills to overcome the fight. Ultimately, the experience requires practice and patience, but the satisfaction makes it all worthwhile.
