We first wrote about 8-Bit Adventures 2 all the way back in 2021, when the indie RPG was first confirmed for consoles. But as any tiny team of developers will tell you, actually getting your game up and running on multiple platforms can be incredibly time consuming — and so here we are, almost three whole years later.

Yep, 8-Bit Adventures 2 finally has a release date. It's coming to both PS5 and PS4 on the 16th October, promising the kind of classic, turn-based JRPG experience that so many fans of the genre grew up with. The game's been out on PC since last year, where it's racked up some really positive reviews. Critics have praised the title's colourful characters, lovely spritework, and clear reverence for the games that inspired it.
