Hi everyone! We finally know the release date for The Witness: it’s 26th January 2016. That’s about four months from now, and it will be a very busy four months as we work hard to make the game the absolute best we can.

We’ve also got a new trailer, which you can watch above.

We’ll be very happy to get the game out into the world, because we’ve been working on it a long time! We originally thought The Witness would be coming out toward the end of the PS4 launch window, but… there’s just been a lot to do. I think when the game is in your hands, you’ll find it to be intricate and deep, and also unlike anything else you have played.

There’s a lot here. When we started making this game, I figured it would have between eight and 12 hours of playtime. As it happens, the game we’ve finally built is around 10 times as big as that. If you are a completionist who wants to wring every last drop out of the game, you might expect to play for 80 hours, or possibly 100. For people who don’t want to go quite that far, the game’s still got plenty for you.

Almost 3 years since its initial "reveal" at the PS4 reveal.


And waaaaaaaaaaaaaay longer since we first heard about it, finally.
 
Wow. Beautiful trailer. Really excited for this and really grateful we have someone like Jonathan Blow in this industry. Will purchase on day of release.
 
I remember years ago listening to the Giant Bombcast when Ryan and Brad went to Blows house to play the game.

Cannot wait to play this!
 
This is the game that can be completed in 4 hours, as reported by Polygon, right

The Witness is so fucking gorgeous, i can't wait!

Yay I was hoping the trailer for it was dated. Good call to dodge the holiday release schedule.

The trailer shows a lot more of what I suspected would be the case - the maze puzzles transition out from the monitors and into the environment.

I just realized Blow and team have not said one word about the story, just the premise of exploring an island. Will be nice to go into it totally blind.

There is little hints. An image of a man turned to ash/stone, an image of a woman and her child... it's very evocative anyway.
