First announced for PlayStation 4 earlier this year, it was confirmed this past weekend that A Short Hike will release on 16th November 2021. That's tomorrow if you're reading this at the time of publication. A new trailer accompanies the news, and PR company Popagenda shares some very important news: the game will have a Platinum Trophy. The full list is actually already live over on Exophase, so be sure to check that out if you're interested.
"Escape to the wilderness and explore a tiny open world in A Short Hike. Play as Claire, a young bird who is visiting her aunt at Hawk Peak Provincial Park, who decides to make the trek to the very top of the mountain," reads the YouTube description. All we've heard about this game is that it's a relaxing delight, so maybe it's one to enjoy in-between some more intense gaming sessions.
Our friends over at Nintendo Life reviewed A Short Hike when it launched on Nintendo Switch, concluding: "An exploration in every sense of the word, A Short Hike is cute without being twee, challenging without being obnoxious, and emotional without being cloying. A landmark game for all ages. Don't miss this one." That warranted a rare 10/10 rating. Will you be taking A Short Hike on PS4 this week? Prepare the essentials in the comments below.

ahhhh so cute
Any info on price? PS Store doesn't even list the release date at this point.
@Voltan Not sure, but it'll be less than a tenner. It's £5 and change on Steam, a little more on Switch.
It honestly might be the best game I've played this year, it was an absolute delight, I might rebuy it for PS4/5 just to support the devs.
@Quintumply Oooh, nice. Definitely getting it then.
I've been waiting for this eagerly, should be a nice, short, easy game to plat and an overall chill experience!
Got this for free on the EGS store some months back. Didn't expect much tbh, but it managed to surprise me with its warm and delightful journey.
If you need a vacation from all the shooting and killing in other games, and rather want a very chill exploration game with some cute characters that will last you about 2-3 hours, this is a damn good choice.
If your character is a bird, why the hiking? Has it got a broken wing?
I played this on Switch, absolutely lovely game. Only a couple hours long but a really wonderful experience!
Snapping this up ASAP, played it plenty on Switch but will happily go through it again. It's just lovely and utterly charming.
