Serenity Forge and Freebird Games announced To the Moon is in development for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. No release date was given.

The game is currently available for the Nintendo switch, PC via Steam, iOS, and Android.

Our own Karl Koebke gave the game a 9 out of 10 in a 2012 review and stated "I've played games all my life and, sometimes, after playing one established series after another, it can start to feel like the industry might not have any surprises left in it anymore. Luckily, every now and then I come across something truly unique. It becomes a reminder to me of how full of potential the industry is, and rekindles my love of gaming. To the Moon isn't a perfect game by any means, but the atmosphere and story are so superbly conveyed that I can recommend it to anyone that loves a good tale in their games."

Read details on the game below:

Dr. Rosalene and Dr. Watts have peculiar jobs: They give people another chance to live, all the way from the very beginning… but only in their patients’ heads.

Due to the severity of the operation, the new life becomes the last thing the patients remember before drawing their last breath. Thus, the operation is only done to people on their deathbeds, to fulfill what they wish they had done with their lives, but didn’t.

This particular story follows their attempt to fulfill the dream of an elderly man, Johnny. With each step back in time, a new fragment of Johnny’s past is revealed. As the two doctors piece together the puzzled events that spanned a life time, they seek to find out just why the frail old man chose his dying wish to be what it is.

And Johnny’s last wish is, of course… to go to the moon.

Features:

A unique and non-combat story-driven experience.
Innovative mix between adventure game elements and classic RPG aesthetics.
Acclaimed original soundtrack that closely ties to the story.
An espresso execution with zero filler and no time drains.

I remember really disliking this game and getting massive dissonance when nearly everyone ended up praising it to high heaven. I really ought to replay it to see if it annoys me as much so many years later.

Also, no switch port as well? Odd.
