Puzzle Parasite
Puzzle Parasite has a release date set to bring us all a new style of game with some darkness in Puzzle Parasite
The physics-based puzzle genre has a new title on the way to keep us all engaged in the world, with Puzzle Parasite getting a release date for the PC. A new title from many veterans in the field who joined Wrenfall so we can pick up a cricket bat and start solving all of these weird puzzles just as we would have in titles like Portal or The Talos Principle. Just in Puzzle Parasite, we will be hitting big colored balls around with the cricket bat in a sci-fi setting. An interesting twist to it all that will be ready for us on December 3rd of this year. So many titles are finding their way out around this time. This holiday season is going to be a little insane when all is said and done…
The story for Puzzle Parasite will have us all on an alien planet with a few fun new abilities and the aforementioned bat. Well, us and a friend, if we so choose, since the game does offer a co-op campaign to experience. One that will have us using our newly found telekinetic abilities to pick up power cores, and then hitting them into place with the cricket bat. I am not too certain why the second part is needed if we have telekinesis, but the story should explain all of that. At least beyond the fact that Puzzle Parasite needed something to help it stand out and to give us a bit of a task with the in-game physics. Not a hard task to get balls into holes if we can just move them with our minds. So, that will be my guess as to why we have to hit them about the maps to unlock the world and find out what is hiding on the planet. There has to be something fun behind all of those energy gates we can see in the following video.
Puzzle Parasite — Release Date
Wrenfall announced the official release date for its debut title, Puzzle Parasite. This clever cricket-bat-wielding sci-fi puzzle adventure is ready to launch on December 3, 2025, on Steam. Crafted by a team of veteran developers hailing from Playdead, Ubisoft, Square Enix, IO Interactive, MachineGames, and Riot Games, Puzzle Parasite delivers a captivating solo and co-op experience.
Puzzle Parasite is a loving but challenging nod to puzzle games classics such as Portal, The Talos Principle, and Antichamber that forged the genre. Set on an alien planet, players are equipped with telekinetic abilities, combined with a cricket bat, to solve intricate environmental puzzles. Send energy cores flying, power alien technology, navigate light bridges, and avoid lethal lasers as you delve deeper to uncover the secrets hidden buried beneath the surface.
The game offers a complete single-player path alongside a dedicated two-player co-op campaign, challenging players to push the limits of their friendships and work together to solve puzzles.
Key Features:
- Physics-Driven Puzzles: An engaging core mechanic focused on logic, observation, and satisfying chain-reaction problem-solving.
- The Power Of Two: Full single-player experience plus a unique, dedicated two-player co-op campaign built from the ground up for collaborative puzzle-solving.
- Handcrafted Perfection: Every level is intentionally designed to encourage players to think outside the box.
- A Clean Aesthetic: Minimalist sci-fi visuals and clean, first-person interaction to deliver what truly matters, pure puzzle solving.

Let's discuss all of this down in the comment section.
