With Planet of Lana 2: Children of the Leaf slated for release on March 5th, developer Wishfully has revealed what kind of performance we can expect from the console versions of the game. In an interview with GamingBolt, the studio has confirmed that PS5 and Xbox Series X will run it at 4K/60 FPS, with players having options to prioritize quality or performance.
Xbox Series S, on the other hand, will run Planet of Lana 2: Children of the Leaf at 1440p/60 FPS. The Nintendo Switch 2 will run it at 720p/60 FPS in handheld mode, and 1080p/60 FPS when docked. Since it is a side-scrolling platforming puzzle game, Wishfully has confirmed that we won’t be seeing any PS5 Pro-specific enhancements.
As for players that might have missed out on the original Planet of Lana, creative director and co-game director Adam Stjärnljus has noted that there’s nothing to worry about. Despite being a continuation of its predecessor, Planet of Lana 2: Children of the Leaf has been designed to be welcoming to new players without feeling lost.
Planet of Lana 2: Children of the Leaf was announced back in June 2025, and along with current-gen platforms, is also slated for release on PS4, Xbox One and the original Nintendo Switch.
Being a follow-up to the original Planet of Lana, it once more follows the story of Lana and Mui, and while the planet isn’t in any imminent danger for now, there are plenty of dark secrets left to be discovered under the surface. The journey that players have to take is slated to be an epic one, taking them across frozen peaks, deep oceans, and forgotten ruins.
Much like Planet of Lana, Planet of Lana 2: Children of the Leaf will also make extensive use of its stylized visuals thanks to its hand-painted world. The game will once more also feature no spoken word of dialogue. Rather, characters will make use of an alien language to express themselves. This, along with the visuals and music, will be the primary method for players to experience the central story.
Just last month, Wishfully released a trailer giving us a look at gameplay, as well as a lush new forest region called Wemari. The trailer placed an emphasis on the importance of the player’s own puzzle-solving prowess and desire for exploration to get through the game’s many challenges. While Lana has to often hide from dangerous foes, she can also make use of Mui’s unique abilities to take advantage of the natural world around her.
The original Planet of Lana was released back in 2023 on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. It would eventually come to PS4, PS5 and Nintendo Switch in 2024. In our review, we gave it a score of 9 out of 10 thanks to its striking visuals, well-designed puzzles, and interesting and well-paced narrative. Our only gripe with the game was a feeling that there might have been too many puzzles spread out throughout its world.
