It’s still young in my opinion. Enjoy the official details below.
Los Angeles – March 10, 2021 – Journey, the critically acclaimed mythic adventure game developed by thatgamecompany and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment on PlayStation and Annapurna Interactive on iOS and PC, celebrates 10 years since its original release on the PlayStation 3 console on March 13, 2012. To commemorate a decade of Journey’s stunning visuals, haunting music, and unique online gameplay, thatgamecompany, Annapurna Interactive, iam8bit, and Grammy-nominated composer Austin Wintory have revealed exciting ways to experience Journey once again.
“Upon releasing Journey ten years ago, we wanted to approach social interaction in games differently and show the world that games can create a genuine emotional connection between players,” says Jenova Chen, game director on Journey and co-founder of thatgamecompany. “We are thrilled that the game has resonated so strongly with millions of players around the world, is referenced by a new generation of game developers, exhibited in museums like MoMA, Smithsonian, and V&A, and made an impact on how people saw games. It means so much to us that our child blossomed and was able to create positive change for the industry we love.”
In honor of the 10th anniversary, iam8bit is repressing the Journey soundtrack on the purest quality pressing possible — 180-gram audiophile black vinyl. One of iam8bit’s very first and best-selling vinyl soundtracks, the reissued soundtrack once again offers composer Austin Wintory’s passionate, evocative fully orchestrated score. As the very first videogame album nominated for a Grammy, and featuring gorgeous updated cover and inner art from Mark Englert, the album is a must-have for every vinyl collection. Pre-orders for the vinyl re-issue are live on iam8bit.com and orders will ship in 2023.

Journey is available on Steam and Epic Games Store for 50% off and on iOS for $1.99 starting today, Thursday, March 10 until March 17.
