AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
Wishfully has announced that Planet of Lana 2: Children of the Leaf will launch on March 5 across multiple platforms including Xbox Game Pass, with a playable demo arriving next week.
Developer Wishfully is returning to its striking cinematic universe sooner than expected. Planet of Lana 2: Children of the Leaf has officially locked in a March 5 release date, bringing its gorgeous puzzle platforming to PC, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and both current and next-gen Nintendo hardware. Xbox players also get an immediate win, as the title is slated to drop straight onto Xbox Game Pass on day one. For a game that leans heavily on atmospheric storytelling and environmental puzzles, the quick turnaround from announcement to launch is a welcome surprise for fans of the 2023 original.
Players eager to test the waters will not have to wait until March. A playable demo goes live on February 11 across Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms, while Nintendo players can expect the demo to follow shortly after with a specific date to be announced soon. The sequel picks up the narrative thread with protagonist Lana and her companion Mui facing a fracturing world divided by greed and power. Early previews point to expanded gameplay mechanics, including new underwater traversal and heightened puzzle complexity that builds directly on what made the first outing a quiet critical darling.
As digital libraries continue to expand across cloud, console, and PC, thoughtful narrative indie titles like this fill a crucial space in the modern release calendar. They offer a distinct change of pace from massive live service grinds and seasonal battle passes. By keeping the core mechanics accessible while deepening the emotional stakes, Wishfully is positioning the sequel to capture both returning fans and newcomers looking for a compelling single player journey.
