Party Animals is making its way to PlayStation 5, bringing with it a roster of over 45 characters and a variety of gameplay modes—including the newly introduced racing experience, Nemo Kart. The lighthearted announcement trailer from Recreate Games and Source Technology showcases the game’s signature slapstick humor, though no official release date has been revealed yet.
Originally launched as a timed console exclusive, Party Animals returns to consoles two years after its initial debut. Its early success was bolstered by a Game Pass release that allowed a wide audience to experience its chaotic fun. Now, PlayStation 5 players eagerly await its arrival, hoping for a potential spot in the PlayStation Plus lineup.
The game distinguishes itself in the party brawler genre by offering an engaging and physics-driven multiplayer experience inspired by titles like Gang Beasts. With numerous maps, modes, and a robust character selection, Party Animals delivers long-lasting entertainment for casual and competitive players alike.
In the recently released PS5 announcement trailer, Party Animals’ mascot Nico humorously drags a PlayStation 5 onto a stage, only to be struck by DualSense controllers thrown directly into his face. This short but charming skit perfectly encapsulates the game's comedic tone and gives newcomers a taste of what to expect.
While the [ttpp] listing on PlayStation was made public earlier in 2024, the "coming soon" label suggests a launch window within the next few months. However, as with many upcoming releases, final content and dates remain subject to change.
PlayStation gamers are enthusiastic about the title’s arrival and optimistic about its potential inclusion in PlayStation Plus. Given its past availability on Game Pass, fans speculate that Party Animals could follow a similar model, offering a limited-time free play period for Plus subscribers before becoming a standalone purchase.
Regardless of how it launches, Party Animals promises to bring high-energy chaos and fresh content to the PlayStation 5 platform, further enriching the console's growing library of party-focused multiplayer experiences.
