The dark fantasy first-person adventure game The Midnight Walk will launch on May 8, 2025, for PlayStation 5 with PlayStation VR2 support, as well as for PC via Steam with virtual reality headset compatibility, publisher Fast Travel Games and developer MoonHood have announced.

Step into the world of The Midnight Walk, a hauntingly beautiful adventure crafted from clay by the minds behind Lost in Random, Fe, and Ghost Giant.

Take on the role of The Burnt One, befriend a lost lantern creature named Potboy, and use his flame to light your way through a world of wonder and horror. Survive and outsmart the many monsters eager to devour your little friend’s flame as you experience five tales of fire and darkness, featuring an incredible cast of odd characters.

An Unforgettable Journey of Light and Darkness

Travel through the twisted trails of The Midnight Walk with Potboy at your side. Work with your companion to outsmart fire-eating monsters, using his flame to distract while you hide from and evade the many threats of The Dark Itself. Encounter new friends and experience awe-inspiring sights as you navigate a path fraught with both peril and affirmation.

A Grim and Beautiful Handcrafted World

Every eerie detail in The Midnight Walk – from the gaping maws of grotesque monsters to the bristling treetops – was first sculpted in clay and then 3D scanned to a meticulous level of detail. The result is a uniquely layered fantasy world with an artistic imprint, all realized in breathtaking stop motion.

Fully Playable on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation VR2

The entirety of The Midnight Walk can be experienced either on a screen or in virtual reality with PlayStation VR2. Use the DualSense controller as your portal into the unknown, or grab the Sense controllers and step into the endless night in virtual reality. In the headset, use eye-tracking to enhance the experience by closing your eyes to focus on sounds and manipulate the world around you. Strange as it sounds, try it for yourself!
