The Pathless, a mythic adventure of an archer and an eagle in a vast forest, is now available for digital pre-order as a launch title for PlayStation 5, as well as PlayStation 4 via the PlayStation Store, for PC via the Epic Game Store and for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV via Apple Arcade. The Pathless will release digitally November 12 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, PC and Apple Arcade, with its European PlayStation 5 release following on November 19.
In addition, Annapurna Interactive and Giant Squid Studios are teaming up with iam8bit to release two physical editions of The Pathless for PlayStation 5 on December 8. The Day One Edition will be available for pre-order at retailers around the world starting today, and the iam8bit Exclusive Edition is available for pre-order at iam8bit.com.
In early 2021, Annapurna Interactive, Giant Squid Studios, and iam8bit will also release a vinyl soundtrack for The Pathless, with music by Grammy-nominated composer Austin Wintory. With The Pathless, Wintory brings another wholly unique aural experience — encompassing both the wandering serenity of the game’s hunter hero and the epic encounters with the cursed island’s inhabitants. It’s a nuanced and dynamic career achievement for Wintory, encased in a beautifully illustrated jacket by Emmy-winning artist, Elaine Lee. It’s a symbolic album, too — harkening in the next generation of consoles with absolute grace.
We love physical games and vinyl. They’re not just cherished collectables, but also cultural and archival artefacts. We’re thrilled to produce Annapurna Interactive and Giant Squid’s first PlayStation 5 Physical Edition.
Amanda White and Jon M. Gibson, co-owners and co-creative directors of iam8bit
