Indie game developer Kappa Bits and publisher Merge Games revealed they will be bringing Pixelshire over to consoles when it launches, as it will be on the PS5 and Nintendo Switch. The game was announced back in 2022, and since then there have been a few minor updates about it, but nothing too significant until now. The idea that they're preparing for it to come out on console is a good sign we'll actually see it released this year. But even the pre-order websites only have the game listed for the Summer with no confirmed timeframe, which is how it's been for a while. In the meantime, enjoy the info and trailer here.
