Reanimal Release Date
Reanimal launches February 13, 2026. Straight out of yesterday's Xbox Partner Preview, this co-op horror adventure from Tarsier Studios the folks behind Little Nightmares, finally has its big reveal. Friday the 13th? Come on, that's chef's kiss territory for a game dripping in dread. PlayStation (@PlayStation) announced on X that Reanimal will creep onto PS5 on February 13, 2026, where players can survive together.
Pre-orders are live now, with bonuses like those eerie Foxhead and Muttonhead masks if you jump in early. And get this: a demo dropped alongside the announcement, so no more endless waiting in the dark. Folks were already losing it on streams last night, fumbling through shadows and yelling about twisted critters. If you're into that slow-burn terror, mark the calendar, early 2026 just got a whole lot spookier.
Reanimal Platforms
Reanimal hits PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG), and Nintendo Switch 2. No last-gen holdouts here; it's all next-level hardware for those slick visuals and co-op jitters. The demo's already playable on consoles and PC, letting you test the waters or dodge the monsters right away.
Switch 2 inclusion feels fresh, especially since the island-hopping vibes might translate surprisingly well on a portable. Smart move by THQ Nordic, covering bases without fragmenting the player base too much.
Reanimal Game Play
Reanimal's gameplay centers on a brother-sister duo navigating a nightmarish island to save their missing friends, solo or in local co-op. Think Little Nightmares' signature unease, cramped spaces, lurking horrors, clever puzzles, but dialed up with teamwork. Boat rides across foggy waters, land crawls through abandoned ruins, piecing together what went wrong on this once-idyllic spot. The demo clocks in around 20-30 minutes of pure tension: sneaking past grotesque beasts that feel way too alive, using each sibling's strengths, one's nimble, the other's tougher, maybe? to survive.
Heard about that one clip floating around where co-op partners accidentally alerted a horde. Comedy gold amid the screams reminds you why horror shines brightest with a buddy. Collectibles hidden in the muck, atmospheric sound design that crawls under your skin... It's 6-8 hours of quality dread, not bloated filler. Tarsier nailed the balance; this could scratch that itch for fans missing the old nightmares. Dive into the demo if you're on the fence about those first scares? Unforgettable.
