This simple premise, alongside its gorgeous visuals and puzzle gameplay were a huge selling point for many. While it was initially expected to launch in October last year,Strayhad to be pushed backinto 2022.Publisher Annapurna Interactive assured fans thatStrayis on-track for a 2022 release, though not much information has been given about the title in recent months other than that. The most recent look that fans were given about the game was last year, with an extensive five-minute gameplay walkthrough video. It shows the player controlling the stray cat to navigate a variety of dangerous terrain and solve puzzles. It also showed the player encountering a small drone known as B-12, which can help them interact with the robots in the city. The trailer also announced a release window of Early 2022, but that has already passed as well.RELATED:Sony Confirms That It’s Blocked PS Plus Subscription StackingStray’s release windowseems to be clearer now, as a new tweet from PlayStation’s Twitter account was promoting a variety of indie games that will be coming to the console later this year.
