That is a gorgeous game. Details of the physical release are below.
Los Angeles – Dec. 8, 2020 – The Pathless, a mythic adventure of an archer and an eagle in a vast forest, is now available in two PlayStation 5 physical editions. Annapurna Interactive and Giant Squid partnered with iam8bit to release two physical editions of The Pathless for PlayStation 5: the Day One Edition is available starting today at retailers around the world, and the iam8bit Exclusive Edition is available at iam8bit.com.
“Ever since the rise in popularity of physical editions of games, there hasn’t been a significant console cycle shift,” said Amanda White and Jon M. Gibson, co-owners/co-creative directors of iam8bit. “This is an historic moment for us, to be the first independent games publisher to bring premium physical editions to PlayStation 5, letting gamers and fans worldwide own a piece of next gen history.”
The digital game launched in November 2020 for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 via the PlayStation Store, for PC via the Epic Game Store and for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV via Apple Arcade.
In early 2021, Annapurna Interactive, Giant Squid, 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. The vinyl soundtrack is available for pre-order at iam8bit.com.
