The release date for Gloomy Eyes is now set, and we will be pulled into a new and creepy world of Gloomy Eyes very soon
Some new little horrors are on the way to get cozy with, as we finally have a release date for Gloomy Eyes. This would be that bleak fairy tale title that Fishing Cactus and Untold Tales have been cooking up for us all that has that look and feel of a Tim Burton film. Thankfully, Gloomy Eyes is going to be its own thing, so we do not have to worry about the basic formula of all of those others coming back to bite us. Only the zombies that will be walking the Earth in the game here when it hits the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, and PC on September 12th. As long as you are on the market for a self-co-op puzzle title that has the look and feel we are about to see here. That is not always everyone’s jam out there.
Now that we have the release date for Gloomy Eyes, let us recap on just it is going to offer up when it does. Like the fact that we will be playing as Gloomy and Nena in the game. Gloomy, being a sweet little zombie brought back to life, and Nena, a human who is up to no good. They are both out to survive as well as bring the sun back to the world. Maybe this will help all of the other zombies out there, or allow the humans to thrive a bit more. Either way, that is the goal, and we will have to try to puzzle it all out in Gloomy Eyes. All with some of the brain-teasing puzzles out there, and some of the special abilities both of our characters will have. A little of the formula we have seen in these kinds of self-co-op titles that keep coming out. Even if it would be nice to have them all have the option to truly play co-op instead of just both characters as needed. Here is a look at the game for those who are only interested in that part, then you can get ready for another month to creep on by so you can actually play it all.
Gloomy Eyes — Release Date
Gloomy Eyes, a cozy horror adventure set within a world where the macabre meets the magical, will launch on PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch on September 12, 2025. Telling the story of two unlikely allies tasked with restoring sunlight to a realm plunged into eternal night, Gloomy Eyes offers distinct “self-co-op” gameplay, a Tim Burton-inspired art style, and brain-teasing puzzles.
The game’s two protagonists, Gloomy, a sweet zombie boy, and Nena, a mischievous human girl, find themselves in a world shrouded in darkness after humanity’s stupidity led to the sun abandoning them. Defying the conflict between the living and the undead, these two unusual souls, each with their own quirks and abilities, must forge a forbidden bond and embark on a quest to bring back the daylight.
Taking place in a meticulously crafted universe brimming with macabre charm and devilish details, Gloomy Eyes presents players with multiple dioramas to explore. Each diorama can be viewed from multiple perspectives, and are packed with secrets to uncover, puzzles to solve, and a whimsically haunting atmosphere that will pull at even the most undead heartstrings.
Gloomy Eyes’ self-co-op gameplay sees players control both Gloomy and Nena in an entirely single-player experience. Switch between each character to utilise their individual abilities, and overcome challenges that put both their (and your) skills to the test as you solve environmental puzzles within the delightfully wretched darkness.
Features:
- Take control of both Gloomy and Nena, seamlessly switching between them to conquer clever environmental puzzles.
- Explore stunning, handcrafted diorama-style levels from every angle, uncovering hidden secrets and solving intricate puzzles within rotatable dioramas.
- Immerse yourself in a cozy horror world with unique Tim Burton-esque art, offering spooky charm without gore or jump scares.
- Embark on a heartwarmingly bleak fairy tale of necromantic adventure, where two unlikely souls journey to find the sun and restore its light amidst a squabble between the living and the undead.
Gloomy Eyes launches on PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch on September 12 and will be available in multiple languages, including English, French, Spanish, Latin American Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, and Portuguese.
Have you been waiting to take a bite into Gloomy Eyes since it was first announced, or is this the first you have been seeing of the game so far? Do you like the look and feel of the world, or will it be too distracting given how the look has been soiled from the person it has been derived from? Would it be nice to have a true co-op option in the game, or will it do better if we are still playing it all solo instead? Take to the comment section down in the graves here, and discuss it all. We are amped to see if Gloomy Eyes blows the world away, so make sure to stick close to the site to see and hear all that we can find out there for it. It should be a great run of things leading up, and then, hopefully, the game will pull us all out of the ground and want to experience even more of it all down the line.
