Candleman is Quietly Making Its Way to The PS4 and It Looks Stunning

While the PS4 date is later this year, Zodiac announced today the game is launching at the end of this month (Jan 31) on Steam

How far can you travel with 10 seconds of light in the dark? One of Microsoft’s previous ‘Xbox Exclusives’ is actually coming to PS4 later this year. Candleman was announced for Xbox One as an Xbox One exclusive title, produced via the ID@Xbox program, and launched on the console in January 2017. It received rock-solid reviews, so this is great news for PS4 owners.

It appears, however, it was just a timed exclusive because the stunning puzzle-platformer is coming to PS4 and Steam. Published by E-Home Entertainment and developed by Spotlightor Interactive, Candleman puts you in control of a candle.

Players have to light up their way through various levels dodging danger, but the catch is you can only light candle for 10 seconds per stage.

Throughout each level, players have a total of 10 seconds of candlelight to illuminate their path and avoid the many fiendish obstacles blocking their way. Clever players will call upon Candleman’s flame at just the right moment while negotiating creaky ships, enchanted forests, mystical caves, and more as they journey closer and closer to the mysterious light guiding them from the distance.

The game scored decent reviews at launch, gaining an average of 78% on Metacritic. What we don’t know yet is which regions it’s coming too or a release date, but we presume it will be available in North America and Europe.

Candleman: The Complete Journey, the 3D platformer published by Zodiac Interactive and developed by Spotlightor Interactive, will arrive on Windows PC via Steam on Jan. 31 for $14.99. This new edition of the game, which first launched to critical praise on Xbox One in 2017, includes the previously released “Lost Light” DLC, a new time challenge mode, enhanced performance and framerate optimizations, and 4K resolution support.
