The Road of Dust and Sorrow moves to February 2027
Rod Oliveira ·
The Road of Dust and Sorrow has a new release date: February 19, 2027. Painted Black Games had planned to launch its survival horror game on December 3, but is extending development to address feedback from the Steam Next Fest demo.
The delay was announced on November 11. The story still follows Katherine and her daughter Ava through a world devastated by an experiment that tried to end famine and instead brought disaster.
More time to act on demo feedback
The team will use the additional weeks to improve the game based on players’ comments. For anyone following the release, that means the December launch is moving into early 2027.
Survival involves exploring ruined buildings, solving environmental puzzles and facing the creatures that have taken over. A new hand-animated trailer introduces the relationship between the two protagonists and the dangers they face on their journey.
Platforms and a boxed PS5 edition
The game is planned for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and Switch 2. Silver Lining Interactive has also opened preorders for the physical PS5 edition.
Players waiting for the game can update their calendars: the release has been moved to February 19, rather than cancelled.
