2024 has been a year of many indie darlings, and Animal Well was one in particular that stood out to many upon its release. Developed by solo developer Billy Basso, the Metroidvania title launched for nearly all platforms barring Xbox earlier this year, and now it has completed the set with an Xbox release.
At the recent Xbox Partner Preview, publisher Bigmode announced that not only is Animal Well coming to Xbox Series X/S, it is available on Microsoft’s current-gen consoles today. Check out the trailer below for a glimpse of what the game has in store.
Animal Well puts its primary focus on exploration, encouraging nonlinear traversal and progression through its dense, intricately crafted world. With little to no combat but plenty of puzzles and platforming challenges, alongside gorgeous pixel art visuals, it certainly carves out a unique niche for itself.
Animal Well is also available on PS5, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
