Party Animals, the wildly popular multiplayer party game, is officially coming to PlayStation 5! While a precise release date remains unannounced, Recreate Games promises more details soon. The game, initially launched on Xbox Game Pass, generated significant buzz and excitement. Its PS5 arrival marks a major expansion, two years after its initial timed console exclusivity.

Party Animals offers a fresh take on the physics-based brawler genre, building upon the success of titles like Gang Beasts. Boasting a roster of over 45 playable characters and a variety of maps and game modes, including the newly added racing game, Nemo Kart, there’s plenty of chaotic fun to be had.

The recently released PS5 announcement trailer perfectly captures the game's spirit. The short, humorous clip features Nico, the game's mascot, hilariously interacting with a PlayStation 5 and DualSense controllers, setting the stage for the slapstick mayhem to come.

Party Animals Drops PS5 Trailer

While the trailer doesn't offer a concrete release date, simply stating "coming soon," the game's existing PlayStation Store listing (available since July 2024) and its established presence on Xbox suggests a relatively quick turnaround. The "coming soon" announcement, coupled with the recent press, hints at a potential release within the next few months. However, it's important to note that final content and release dates are subject to change.

PlayStation gamers are buzzing with anticipation, expressing strong interest in adding Party Animals to their collections. Many hope to see it included in the PlayStation Plus lineup, mirroring its initial Game Pass launch (though it eventually left that service). This would provide a significant boost to the game's visibility and player base, offering a free trial period for subscribers. Even without PlayStation Plus inclusion, Party Animals is poised to make a significant splash on the PS5.
