Since its announcement last year, The Eternal Life of Goldman has remained firmly on our radar thanks to its breathtaking artistic direction. If you missed out on the initial Steam Next Fest demo earlier this year, we have excellent news: a fresh playable demo, offering a substantial 90 minutes of gameplay, is now available on PlayStation 5. We highly encourage you to jump in and experience it for yourself.
While the game’s exquisite, hand-drawn aesthetic will immediately grab your attention, the core experience is a polished, DuckTales-inspired platformer. You guide the titular hero, Goldman, through vibrant, intricate stages using a pogo-stick mechanic that feels both nostalgic and fresh. Beyond the mechanics, the developers at Weappy Studio promise an emotionally resonant narrative punctuated by genuinely unsettling moments. You can dive deeper into the project’s development in our exclusive behind-the-scenes feature.
While a definitive release date for The Eternal Life of Goldman is still pending, the game is slated to arrive on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC later this year.
