One of 2024's Best Games Could Be Coming to PS4 and PS5 Soon

Key Takeaways

  • Critically-acclaimed horror game Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is likely coming to PlayStation consoles.
  • Developed by Simogo and published by Annapurna Interactive, the game features a unique aesthetic and mysterious narrative.
  • Though no release date is confirmed, the game’s PEGI rating suggests it will soon be available on PS4 and PS5.

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of gaming under my belt, I have to say that the news of Lorelei and the Laser Eyes coming to PlayStation consoles has me more excited than a cat with a laser pointer! The game’s unique aesthetic and mysterious narrative, coupled with its self-aware nods to classic horror games, has been on my radar since its launch last year.


It seems that the highly-praised horror adventure game, “Lorelei and the Laser Eyes,” could soon be available on PlayStation consoles. This assumption arises from its official rating on the Pan European Game Information website. Originally released for Nintendo Switch and PC on May 16, this game has already earned a PEGI rating of 12 for both PlayStation 4 and 5, similar to other platforms it’s available on.

Originating from Simogo and distributed by Annapurna Interactive, the same team behind the hit adventure game “Stray”, Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is a distinctive adventure game characterized by its low-poly style. In this game, players step into the role of the main character, summoned to participate in a puzzling project within an antiquated hotel. Immersed in a whirlwind of illusions, they find themselves spiraling down a perplexing rabbit hole.

Initially available only for PC and Nintendo Switch, the game appears to be expanding its platform reach, potentially coming to PS4 and PS5 too. This speculation arises from a tweet by gaming news outlet Gematsu, who shared an image of the PEGI (Pan European Game Information) rating page for the game. However, the rating isn’t publicly visible when searching for the game, and despite listing a release date of November 14, it doesn’t seem to be available on PlayStation yet.

PlayStation Fans Might Have Even More Indie Horror to Look Forward To

Still, the page does appear to confirm that the game is on its way to the platform in the near future, giving prospective fans another avenue to check the game out for themselves. Steam reviews have compared Lorelei and the Laser Eyes to the likes of Alan Wake due to its self-aware narrative aspects, mixed with low-poly graphics somewhat akin to the original PlayStation.

“Lorelei and the Laser Eyes” marks the third significant release by developer Simogo, a studio renowned for its unusual, story-focused games. They initially gained recognition with their debut in 2014, launching the first-person adventure game “Year Walk.” Subsequently, they released “Sayonara Wild Hearts,” a musical adventure title in 2019, which was their most popular game at that time.

At this point, it’s uncertain when Lorelei and the Laser Eyes will appear on PlayStation consoles; however, there are numerous engaging adventure games available on the console that users can enjoy in the interim. On the other hand, fans of Annapurna who own a Nintendo Switch now have Stray to look forward to, as it has recently been ported over for those seeking another adventure with a more playful atmosphere.
