Jupiter Corporation, the developer of Nintendo's popular Picross series, is bringing its latest title to multiple platforms for the very first time, including PS4.
Historically exclusive to Nintendo hardware, the studio's new game is Logiart Grimoire, a game featuring nonogram logic puzzles styled virtually identically to the Picross series. In fact, the Switch version of the game is named Picross: Logiart Grimoire.
If you're unfamiliar, nonograms are puzzles in which you colour in specific cells on a grid, using numbers on each row and column to deduce which squares to mark and which to leave blank, revealing an image once solved.
Logiart Grimoire will feature many of these puzzles, and builds upon them with a narrative framework in which you must restore the titular grimoire and help its keeper, Emil, gain their magic back.
It's not the first nonogram-based game on PlayStation, but will be the first Picross game (in all but name) to hit Sony's systems. It launches on 24th April for $19.99.

Picross is a ton of fun. Good one for the Portal owners, I'd say.
And thus another reason to buy Nintendo hardware has dropped.
It's all on PlayStation now baby.
Sooo is everything becoming a Nintendo now?
Dreams has a pretty fire picross game on it. I've really liked Picross since Pokemon Picross. In fact I'm playing Picross 3d on DS and I almost beat all the stages.
This is a great little Picross game!
Played this on Switch. Although IMO the Emil character is unnecessary and annoying, a solid Picross game overall.
Slight correction, Logiart isn't Jupiter's latest title, I believe that's the Doraemon version of picross released last month (on Switch).
I'm not sure yet if there's trophies up for grabs inc. platinum, but I might be tempted going for the double-dip; having cleared this on Steam already, and also Emil is simply adorable. How could you not like that wizard?
Know that this is picross made by the devs that know picross best. You can never go wrong with Jupiter.
Up to 40x30 puzzles according to the game's description. Nice to see some larger puzzle sizes here. I played a bit of the older Nintendo 3DS games, and I think that only capped out at 15x15 sizes.
If Jupiter brings the rest of the Picross series to PlayStation I'll buy all of them again
I believe Nintendo owns the Picross name, but any company can make games like that series, which are based on an pen-and-paper game called a nonogram.
