Get ready to have a (snow)ball this holiday season! Clear River Games has announced that Snow Bros. Wonderland is set to release on 28th November 2024 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and—wait for it—PC via Steam! That’s right, our favourite frosty duo, Nick and Tom, are back after nearly 30 years, and they’re bringing friends along for some chilly four-player couch co-op action.

The kings of cold return
Held on ice for far too long, Nick and Tom are thrust into a brand-new adventure to defend Snow Land from the nefarious Great King of Evil. This time, they won’t be going it alone. Snow Bros. Wonderland reimagines the classic platformer with a fresh 3D isometric viewpoint, introducing new moves, power-ups, and gameplay mechanics that are sure to melt even the coldest of hearts.
Four-player fun to warm up winter nights
One of the most exciting features is the ability to team up with up to three friends in local co-op. Yes, you read that right—four-player couch co-op is here to make those long winter nights a whole lot more entertaining. Whether you’re a veteran of the original game or new to the series, this sequel offers something for everyone.
Physical editions to hold the cold
While the game will be available digitally on 28th November, collectors and fans of physical media have reason to celebrate. Limited Run Games is offering both standard and collector’s editions for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch in North America. Pre-orders start on 5th November 2024, so mark your calendars! Over in Europe, Clear River Games will handle the physical release.

In a delightful twist, PC players won’t be left out in the cold. Clear River Games has confirmed that Snow Bros. Wonderland will launch on Steam the same day as its console counterparts. So whether you’re team console or team PC, you’ll be able to join Nick and Tom on their icy escapade.
As someone who spent way too many hours turning enemies into snowballs back in the day, this news warms my heart. The combination of nostalgic charm and modern enhancements makes Snow Bros. Wonderland a must-play this winter. Plus, the addition of four-player co-op means it’s the perfect game to enjoy with friends and family during the festive season.
