Owlboy, a critically-acclaimed adventure-platformer currently available on Steam, is set to receive a physical retail release.

Published by SOEDESCO, who are known for bringing digital-only indie games to store shelves, Owlboy should make for a pretty shelf piece for collectors and gamers alike.

As a love letter to pixel art, Owlboy is a story-driven action game that mixes flight mechanics and platforming across large dungeons, big boss battles and more.

Having released digitally on Steam last year and set to release on the Nintendo Switch, it's a stunning little game that I had been eagerly awaiting over the course of its 9 year development.

As a fan of physical game releases myself , Owlboy has always been high on my list of desired retail releases. Not only will this look great on a shelf and assure preservation for current owners, it'll open the game up to a whole new audience.

The specific platforms and release date are yet to be announced, but given the game's current platform releases, it's fair to make assumptions.
