Publisher Wired Productions and developer Angry Demon Studio have announced a release date for Gori: Cuddly Carnage.

The cute but murderous action-adventure game is launching on August 29th across PC (via Steam), Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5 sometime in early 2024.

“We’re thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of Gori: Cuddly Carnage across multiple platforms,” Developer John Kalderon of Angry Demon Studio said in a press release. “It’s been an incredible journey bringing this absurd and action-packed world to life, and we couldn’t be happier to finally share it with players everywhere. We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our amazing community and everyone who has been a part of this journey since 2020. Your feedback and support have been instrumental in shaping Gori into the game it is today, and we’re incredibly grateful for your continued enthusiasm. Get ready to embark on an unforgettable adventure with Gori: Cuddly Carnage – the fun starts soon!”.

Leo Zullo, Managing Director of publisher Wired Productions said, “Cats have nine lives, and Gori has used most of them! When we first started to collaborate with Angry Demon Studio nearly 3 years ago, they had already been through a ride in development, but thanks to their determination and vision, with our support, they’ve been able to deliver exactly what they set out to do.”

He continued, “Gori: Cuddly Carnage is a throwback to the games I played in the late 90’s and 2000’s. It’s pure adrenaline, fun, outrageous and really a showcase of just what indie gaming is all about – a place for creativity, freedom and the ability to make the game you want to make. Angry Demon Studios did just this, and I couldn’t be more excited for its launch on August 29th.”
