Darwin's Paradox, the upcoming adventure in which we play as the world's cleverest octopus, finally has its release date. After getting pushed out of the 2025 release calendar, Darwin's Paradox joins a packed spring as it lands in April.

At the PlayStation State of Play, as part of Konami's feature presentation, we got to see Darwin as a light break in between the Metal Gear and Castlevania announcements. Darwin's Paradox looks like a short and sweet puzzler adventure game which is sure to lighten our moods as the days grow lighter outside.

There's a demo available to play from tomorrow if you want to give the game a go, and it arrives on the 2nd of April, 2026. Pre-orders are also available now.
