Thursday 29th October 2026, Cardiff, UK - Cloth Cat Games and Curveball Games have today launched chaotic multiplayer game Planted! on PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series consoles, with PC launching soon. Challenging players to take to the allotment (and volcanos, mountainsides and totally, 100% normal farmyards) to face off against their friends in horticultural combat, Planted! sees players sowing, growing and throwing freshly produced produce at goals, and each other, in order to wrack up points and be crowned champion.
From windy mountainsides and cavernous cave systems, to half built skyscrapers, and active volcanoes, no location is too remote (or dangerous) for our budding gardeners. Each of the eight multiplayer arenas offers a unique challenge to tangle with as players race to climb the leaderboard and reign victorious, but, there’s more than one way to peel an onion, and players will have an arsenal of power ups at their disposal to help them (h)edge out the competition including weed bombs, spud turrets, and eerily green clones!
Ready, Set, GROW:
Alongside the eight unique multiplayer arenas, playable in both local and online (crossplay supported) multiplayer, Planted! also offers a separate and specifically cultivated single player story mode that dives headfirst into the cutthroat world of competitive gardening. Taking players through different locations and putting their competitive gardening prowess to the test with exciting challenges and rewarding boss battles, Planted’s single player campaign allows player’s horticultural aptitude to flourish, with skills learned translating seamlessly to the multiplayer.
Ben Cawthorne, Creative Producer, Cloth Cat Games said: “We are super stoked that Planted! launches today on PC and consoles - what started as a fun prototype for us to test out our weird and wacky ideas on, has become a game the whole team has poured so much heart and soul into. We can’t wait to see players face off against their friends in extreme gardening, and we hope they have fun tangling with different tactics and flinging the produce they produce to score big points!”
Ed Gregory, Senior Publishing Manager, Curveball Games, Said: “Launching a game is always a momentous milestone - and the Cloth Cat team have created something really special with Planted! - the perfect game to boot up with your friends as you throw giant carrots (or onions, their choice) at one another.”
