SCI-FI STEALTH-ACTION ADVENTURE STEEL SEED ADJUSTS ITS RELEASE DATE TO APRIL 22

– Ignition, Lift-off… the award-winning Sci-Fi Stealth Adventure is Coming Soon –

CyberSpace — April 1*, 2025 — Today, publisher ESDigital Games and Italian studio Storm in a Teacup announced that the release date of the highly anticipated stealth-action adventure Steel Seed has been pushed back to April 22 on PC (Steam and Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, rather than launching on April 10 as previously announced. These extra few weeks will give the talented team behind the game more time to finetune both platform adaptation on consoles and game optimisation.

“Since the game’s announcement, your excitement has been truly inspiring, and we know how much you’ve been looking forward to a deep dive into a dark sci-fi future on all platforms. That’s why we want to be completely open with you: We encountered some technical hurdles related to platform adaptation when running our platform certification tests. Rather than rushing the console release and risking a potentially substandard console user experience that requires swift patching, we have made the difficult, but necessary decision to delay the launch,” said Ilia Svanidze, Head of Marketing of ESDigital Games. “Our goal is to ensure that all players, regardless of platform, enjoy a polished and seamless experience. We are committed to delivering the best possible experience for our players. This additional time will allow us to optimise and polish all versions for launch, so they meet the standard we know you deserve.” 

Steel Seed is a gripping action-adventure game from the visionary team behind the critically acclaimed Close to the Sun, set in a dark sci-fi world where humanity stands on the brink of extinction. Players step into the shoes of Zoe, a young woman who awakens in an unfamiliar body, trapped within a vast underground complex where AI-driven machines watch her every move. Accompanied by her flying drone companion KOBY, who provides guidance and helps solve puzzles, Zoe must explore the depths of this hostile facility in search of answers—and the key to humanity’s survival. With a story revised and edited by BAFTA-winning writer Martin Korda, the game delivers a deep, emotionally charged narrative experience.
