FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Dortmund, August 6, 2025 – Indie publisher Bold Head Interactive and Saarland-based developer Pentapaw Studios have announced that the upcoming 2D action-adventure Yarn Guardians will now release on August 14, 2025 across all platforms: Steam, Epic Games Store, and Nintendo Switch.
The reason for the short delay is the finalization of the game’s multi-language localization. While the game is nearly complete from a technical and content standpoint, the developers aim to provide a consistent and high-quality launch experience for players worldwide, regardless of language.
“We know how important a truly global launch is for our community. That’s why we want to make sure all languages are fully integrated and receive the same attention to detail as the game itself.”
– Andre Wilimzig-Scholz, Publisher (Bold Head Interactive)
Yarn Guardians blends fast-paced twin-stick action with Metroidvania-style exploration, all set in a whimsical, hand-drawn world. Players control a team of five flying cats, each with unique abilities, as they embark on a heartfelt, magical, and yarn-powered quest.
The public demo remains available on Steam, allowing players to experience the early stages of the game ahead of launch.
New release date: August 14, 2025
Platforms: Steam, Epic Games Store, Nintendo Switch
