Publisher eastasiasoft and developer Softstar Entertainment have announced a release date bump for their upcoming horror adventure title Incantation. Originally slated for a March release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch, the game will now launch on April 8. In the meantime, players can check out the game’s demo on the Xbox, while PlayStation owners get their version on April 1.
In addition to the digital release, eastasiasoft will also release physical editions of Incantation for the PlayStation 5 and Switch. Pre-orders are available via Play-Asia. The standard edition will be available for both platforms, while a limited edition will only be available for the Switch. The latter includes the game, manual, acrylic standees, Joy-Con stickers, mini case, a lucky charm, and a numbered certificate in a collector’s box. Physical editions will ship simultaneously alongside the digital release. The Nintendo Switch release will also have enhanced features for Nintendo Switch 2, including improved resolution and framerate.
Originally released on Steam back in 2024, Incantation is a horror-themed adventure presented in cinematic 3D first-person perspective. Adapted from the Taiwanese found-footage folk horror film directed by Kevin Ko of the same name, players assume the role of a mother who is searching for her missing daughter. She is led to a place called the Chen Family Village, which is haunted by an evil deity and inhabited by cultists. The player must guide the mother through the village, solving environmental puzzles by interacting and finding key items as well as picking up clues to lead them from area to area.
