More On: Runbow

While players on the Wii U, PC, 3DS, and Xbox One have been enjoying Runbow for a while now, PS4 and Switch owners will have to wait a little while longer. Headup Games and 13AM Games have recently made the decision to push back the release date for Runbow on the PS4 and Switch a little bit to add in a bit more polish to ensure the highest quality possible for players. No other set date has been announced yet but Headup Games and 13AM Games has said that players will get the new release date as soon as it's set.

Get ready to Runbow - soon!


Runbow's release date for Nintendo Switch™ and PlayStation®4 postponed in favor to a high polished version
 

Düren, April 20th 2018 - The colorful racing chaos of award-winning party game Runbow will be postponed for some weeks in order to further optimize the game’s performance.

Headup Games and 13AM Games deeply apologize to everyone who's already looking forward excitedly to play it, but in order to feature the highest quality possible, Runbow needed to be delayed for PlayStation®Store and Nintendo eShop. But rest assured - it's just a matter of weeks. You will get the newest date, as soon as it is set.

The same may apply to the retail "Deluxe Edition", due to the digital shift this date will probably shift back a bit as well. The Deluxe Edition will include all DLCs and nice physical goodies.


Runbow features an eye-catching color mechanic that has racers brawl amongst each other while objects and platforms appear or disappear based on the continually changing background color. All multiplayer modes can be played by up to 9 players simultaneously online, while it features 8-player local multiplayer madness on Nintendo Switch as well as 4 player local chaos on PlayStation™4. Besides that, the game features a bevy of content in its single-player modes that will test the skills and minds of any seasoned platformer.
