Sydney, Australia – January 20th, 2026: After briefly flirting with the idea of renaming the game Tides of the Day After Tomorrow, developer DigixArt (creators of the critically acclaimed Road 96) and publisher THQ Nordic have decided to stick with Tides of Tomorrow — and to take a little extra time before launch.
The narrative-driven adventure will now release on April 22, 2026, for PC, PlayStation®5, and Xbox Series X|S.
Following extensive feedback gathered from the Tides of Tomorrow playable demo and an ongoing closed beta, the development team determined that additional time is needed to respond to player input and implement improvements. This extra development period will help ensure the best possible experience for the upcoming narrative-driven adventure.
Players can currently try the Tides of Tomorrow demo for themselves, available at: https://thqn.net/ToTdemo.
While awaiting the release of Tides of Tomorrow on PC, PlayStation®5, and Xbox Series X|S on April 22, 2026, players are invited to check out the playable demo and explore the series of character showcases to get familiar with the cast of Tides of Tomorrow.

About Tides of Tomorrow:
In a flooded, post-apocalyptic world plagued by a mysterious disease called Plastemia, you embark on a single-player mission – yet you’ll never be alone. You’ll constantly feel the presence of other Tidewalkers through the echoes of those who came before you.
Key Features:
- Reveal the ‘echoes’ of previous players through Online Story-Link – ghosts that show how previous Tidewalkers moved, the decisions they made, and even how they tried to communicate with you
- Confront opposing factions – ruthless Marauders, everyday survivors known as Reclaimers, and the Mystics
- Levels, NPCs, and narratives can be totally different depending on the choices of Story-Link selected
- Sail through uncertain waters, gathering resources to improve your chance for survival
- Explore diverse floating platforms set amongst unique land and seascapes
About Online Story-Link:
The ‘Online Story-Link’ feature allows you to feel the impact of previous players’ choices – and leave your own lasting mark for future players. How it works:
- Every choice made by every player is recorded.
- When beginning your run, you select a Tidewalker’s Story-Link to follow — from DigixArt team members, friends, streamers, or random global players.
- You may visit the same locations, but the events, characters, and outcomes can differ entirely based on the choices made before you.
- Your own choices will become Story-Links for future players, shaping their world in return.
