13th Street Games and Top Hat Studios have announced that BECROWNED has been pushed to Q1 2027, having previously been pencilled in for a Fall 2026 launch. However, the companies also revealed the game is now slated to arrive for PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, and Xbox Series X/S in addition to the previously confirmed PC version.
To accompany the news, there’s a new trailer, which you can see below alongside an official blurb.
The new trailer showcases the darker, stranger direction BECROWNED has taken since it was originally announced several years ago. While early impressions drew comparisons to classic staples of the psychological horror genre, the game has since evolved dramatically, now encompassing the lurid atmosphere of 1970s and 1980s grindhouse cinema and the surrealist dark satirical humor of 70s French horror. It is further shaped by unique Russian cultural and literary references that reflect the game director’s unique perspective.
BECROWNED sees players Richard Torrance, a self-willed but dissatisfied individual who believes happiness is something that should be seized through force of will. Underneath demeanour however is an emptiness that gnaws away at Torrance, which cannot be satisfied by any achievement. Players will find themselves traversing the complexities of Richard’s relationships, both inside and outside of the bizarre dimension he inhabits, in order to decide his ultimate fate.
